Sridevi at age 13 and 16

 

Be it Moondru Modichu or 16 Vayathinile, Sridevi at age 13 and 16 respectively gave such a professional more than precious performance of such maturity... she was truly born to be an actress. 

The Great Sridevi

Sridevi's tight hug for fellow child-artist turned actress Khushbu

Both child artists turned star actresses, Khusbu with Sridevi. 

Born on 29 September 1970, Khusbu turns 52 today. We wish the actress the very best. 

During the travesty of the lowest form of reporting during the tragic death of Sridevi, Khusbu was one of the few actresses that asked the media to give the family some privacy and the late actress some respect as channels went haywire with false reporting and conjecture. 

That lone voice of reason in the cacophony of shrill 'reporting'... it was a horror show...

Even during making the film, despite the setbacks (production delays), everyone knew it was a special film. Easily the most beloved blockbuster of that decade - believe it or not Mr.India was not the biggest hit of 1987, but the forgettable Hukumat was!

Saroj Khan on Sridevi's last dance on screen: She was Bollywood's Greatest

With Navrai Majhi, the actress parades those killer moves again onscreen after fifteen years. And if some were disenchanted that it was not a fully-blown Sridevi dance, Saroj Khan points out why it was even more miraculous : "Despite being one of Bollywood's greatest dancers, she deliberately dances in an awkward manner here because that is exactly how a housewife like Shashi would do. Navrai Majhi is not a dance but a performance like all her songs always were. Sri curbs her dancing skills and creates an illusion that she can't dance. For her, the character she was portraying was always more important than the star image and that made her special."
