From one screen Goddess to another: Sridevi presents Aishwarya Rai her first Best Actress trophy

From one screen Goddess to another: Sridevi presents Aishwarya Rai her first Best Actress trophy.

It was the year 2000, a turn of the century, a hallmark year, a transitional one. It was as if Sridevi  was anointing another South Indian actress to be the next number one star. 

Ash had a high watermark year with the stupendous success of Taal (1999) and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999). Reminding many of a decade earlier when Sridevi had a similar double whammy of Chandni and Chaalbaaz (1989)

Talent recognises talent, Sridevi had given Ash the nod of approval long back and the two remained friends from beginning to... well, Sri's tragic end. 

Ah cruel fate...
