Excerpt: Sridevi talks about other Indian actresses: Madhuri Dixit, Hema Malini, Karishma Kapoor, Juhi Chawla...


Q: If you talk to today's actresses they say that their ideal is Sridevi. Like Babita Kapoor was telling me the day Karishma Kapoor (L) dances like Sridevi, she'll think her daughter has done herself proud. 

Sridevi: Hey God, I'm really walking on air with this compliment. It's a great thing to happen to me.

Q: Even Juhi Chawla says she finds you amazing. Everybody wants to be like you. It would be very interesting to know what you thought of them for a change. How would you assess the heroines in the industry? For instance, Madhuri Dixit?

Sridevi: She's very good. A very good dancer. When you see her films it's like watching an experienced woman. It's really great to see her.

Q: I'm allowing you to steal one role from Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla. Which role would you steal?

Sridevi: It's difficult to answer that. Because I have done something similar to what they have done, if not the same... 


Q: Okay, what about the older heroines?

Sridevi, The role Nargis did in Mother India, Hema Malini...  the film where she was negative... um...  Laal Pathar. (R)
