Sridevi and Shahrukh Khan: Uniting on stage




With the continued and staggering success of Pathaan, the box-office shattering figures that keep getting reported weekly thus far, thought we'd re-post these images of Sridevi with Shahrukh Khan. 

A major TBT, Sridevi presenting Shahrukh Khan award a Filmfare Best Actor trophy back in 1998. A reunion on stage, the two had worked together in the film Army (1996). Khan had stated during the production of the film that he only did the film to work with a legend and observe her as he was a mega-fan. In a listicle, Shahrukh Khan mentioned that his favourite performer to watch was Sridevi, on stage at an awards show he brought to light that in conversation with Yash Chopra, the late great director and professed that Sridevi was his all-time favourite artist and the director had offered six films after Lamhe to Sri, but she refused them. Shahrukh at a press conference said he was so protective of Sridevi that he once asked her if he can give her a hug - she complied. And after the release of English Vinglish had spoken at length about the capabilities of the actor - that never fades with time nor age. 

Basically, King Khan was a Sri fan boy. 

I mean... aren't we all?!
