Sonam with Sridevi

Sonam, Sridevi and Sreelatha at the Ghayal post-premiere party in 

 No, not 'that' Sonam. But the OG Sonam! Of Oye Oye fame. She was a huge Sridevi fan and friend. These rare images of the two (along with Sridevi's younger sister Sreelatha) from June 1990, when Sridevi (briefly) appeared at the premiere and after-party hosted by the Deols for Ghayal.

Below a clip of Sonam talking about working with Sridevi in Naaka Bandi - the caption seems inaccurate, they were friendly but hardly 'best friends'! But oh well, for a clickbait caption, why not... Scroll to 19.30 when they first start talking about Sridevi. Excerpt: 

Q: How was it working with Sridevi?
Sonam: What was very surprising about doing Naaka Bandi was that I became friends with Srideviji. 

Q: That's again a rare thing. From what I've read, she was very choose about friends.
Sonam: Very choosy and, I used to look at her in awe, like, where did she come from? And she saw that child in me. So she started talking to me first. Then, the shooting of Chandni was going on, I had seen the trailer of the film, or I had gone to the mahurat [launch], I can't remember which, but after I sent her a huge bouquet and wrote, "Queen is always Queen!"
