TBT: Sridevi's last birthday hosted by celebrity designer (and best friend) Manish Malhotra: Aishwarya Rai, Rekha, Vidya Balan, Rani Mukherjee, Tina Munim, Shabana Azmi attend

Throwback to 2017! Manish Malhotra hosted a party to celebrate Sridevi’s 54th birthday, and of course, the entire crème de la crème of Bollywood showed up; an A-list line up of iconic Indian actresses celebrating the female fraternity of film icons. It turned into this rare, magical gathering where actresses of note from different generations came together, looking absolutely stunning and owning every bit of their power. 

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Vidya Balan, Rani Mukerji, Rekha, Tina Ambani, and of course, the birthday girl Sridevi herself — all in one room, smiling, laughing, and clicking those gorgeous photos that just scream timeless elegance and sisterhood.

Vidya Balan looked completely starstruck, like she couldn’t believe she was sharing the same space with all her idols under one roof; Filmfare Awards nite would have died to get this lineup together for a cover, let alone their (increasingly questionable) awards ceremony. 

The energy must have been unreal. I can’t stop wondering what these fierce, legendary women were talking about. Was it scripts, life, family… or were they secretly plotting global domination with their unmatched talent and grace? Or maybe they were just laughing about how the media loves to pit strong women against each other and create unnecessary drama where none exists.

Either way, it was such a refreshing sight — real admiration, no shade, just pure celebration of each other’s journeys. 

Big shoutout and blessings to Manish Malhotra for always creating these special spaces where Bollywood’s most powerful female forces can come together, bond, and shine unapologetically. 

More of this please!
