TBT: Sridevi continues to be an enigma: Sept 1983

 

TBT: "Sridevi continues to be an enigma" - really that opening sentence could stand and be relevant at any chapter in her life. And sadly, even in her death. 

This excerpt from the early 1980s, when Sridevi remained in Madras and flew back and forth for her shoots in Bombay, staying in luxury hotels and flying back home every weekend.  

It took Sri a decade to find a proper apartment in Mumbai - as she, to a great extent, even long after she made it, never believed Mumbai would ever become her home and the city would embrace the south Indian beauty. 

Excerpt from 1983!!;

Sridevi continues to be an enigma because she doesn't prefer to come to Bombay. One of the conditions she imposes on producers is that they should hold their film's shooting in the south itself. Is Sridevi stooping low ot make it big in Hindi films? Critics insist that she plays haughty as afar as accepting roles down south which call for exposure, but has no qualms revealing a lot of herself like in Himmatwala in which she wore a bikini."
