Manila Santoshi with Sridevi over the years

 

There's baby Janhvi Kapoor there with her superstar mother Sridevi, her friend Manila Santoshi (wife of famed writer/director Rajkumar Santoshi). 

Rare pics from the early 2000s. 

Have to say Rajkumar Santoshi is one of the most gifted, versatile directors around - pity he never worked with Sridevi. As the director of Damini, Ghayal and my personal favourite Andaz Apna Apna, the range of the director is second to none. Be it a hard hitting drama or a rib-tickling comedy, Sridevi could have aced either. Ah.. life.
