Anil Kapoor posts about Sridevi on her Birth Anniversary... 

Apart from Sridevi's immediate family, and our small, ever-decreasing posse of hardcore Sridevi fans, many in the Indian film industry, busy promoting their own mostly bullshit films, just forgot to remember that it was the legend Sridevi's birthday. 

The ENTIRE film industry, even Sridevi's famed detractors, posted about Sridevi's untimely death and loss in 2018. Reeling from the shock and immediacy of impact with the incessant false-reportage that aired on TV. From that fateful day till date, the numbers have dwindled so dramatically, it reminded me of the quote, 'Chandni sirf chaar din ki, phir andheri raat hai...."

Of course husband Boney Kapoor, brother-in-law and frequent co-star Anil Kapoor, Sridevi's daughters Janhvi and Khushi remembered her. The other 'fans'... 

Look, I don't blame them. I know of people who forget their own mother's barsi, Sridevi was a familiar face on film and nothing more to them. But the stats on social media can indicate how quickly one is forgotten by the masses, no matter how big an impact or legacy... 

Fame is a cruel mistress. Here today, gone tomorrow. 

 Five years on, we're still posting daily. Wonder when our time will come...
