Here's something very few people talk about when it comes to the Teen Deviyan of Bollywood; Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla - all three were all working in the industry back in 1984. However, one of them lead the pack! 😉
In 1984, Sridevi was just 21 - but already anointed the Queen of Bollywood after a steady stream of box-office hits. Madhuri Dixit was 17, whose first film Abodh barely made a ripple at the box-office. Juhi Chawla was the freshly crowned Miss India - also the same age as Madhuri (Juhi is a few months younger). In fact, Juhi made her debut in a Sridevi film - Sultanat - soon after she won the pageant. But Sridevi and Juhi had no scenes together and never met on set - their schedules were entirely different and in different locations.
In the late 80s and in the 90s, all three leading ladies were in top form - who was considered Number One depended on which fan base you hit upon.

Sridevi, Juhi Chawla and Madhuri Dixit - these ladies made not only movies fun, but MOVIE fun too. Fantastic covers, fun interviews, gorgeous photoshoots...
Well, it finally happened, Juhi Chawla, Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit appeared in the same film Bombay Talkies (2013) - cameos in a song celebrating the Indian film industry, never a moment together. Wait through to the end of (during the song "Apna Bombay Talkies."
Sultanat released in 1986
ReplyDeleteThe film production started in Feb 1984
