Icons only: Mumtaz with Sridevi

Mumtaz arrives at the Delhi premiere of Yash Chopra's Chandni and shares the frame with Sridevi. Rare stills. TBT to 1989! Above right; a bad colour edit of the original pics. They weren't wearing the same shade of faded pink! 

Mumtaz turns 78 today. Shahrukh Khan in an old interview said Mumtaz was his favourite actress and he liked Sridevi cause she reminded him of her... um... ok! Well, both were superstars of their time. Sridevi had more critical acclaim though... and more awards and recognition for her thespian skills. Mumtaz famously won a Best Actress award for Khilona (1970) and left Bollywood for marriage and kids when she was on top.
