Sridevi in and as Malini Iyer (2004)

Sridevi, 41, in and as Malini Iyer (2004) - the only sitcom and television show she did. 

Talk about wasted opportunity. As divine as she looked and well-acted, the poorly executed "comedy" couldn't sustain viewership after huge initial ratings. Sadly, the show came at a time with sitcoms and Indian TV was not good, let alone great. 

If she had entered in the era of Netflix and polished OTT platform work, would have been another story...

Sridevi mentioned in an interview that she didn't enjoy the experience and there were certain financial reasons she signed up for the Sahara TV show. After the show was not picked up for Season 2, Sri heaved a sigh of relief. 

She returned to movies much later in 2012 - back where she belonged, ruling the big screen.
