Decked in ivory and gold, tall and imperial Sridevi in traditional Indian attire (take a bow Sabya!) was unbeatable. She looked like an exquisite, fragile but strong, Indian temple Goddess who came to life when she swanned into an event.
Famously, a designer friend of hers said, when they were shopping in Italy, even though many didn't know who exactly she was, the staff of a posh hotel and store figured out that she was someone accustomed to being looked at. Was she an Asian royal in disguise of the ordinary? Was she a performer of stage and cinema going incognito? They never fully realised as the tall, shy figure disappeared before they could ask.
Who's that girl?
We'll never know fully. Even now.
