Unlike Hema Malini, Vyjanthimala, Meenakshi Seshadiri, Bhanupriya, Jaya Prada, Sudha Chandran, Shobhana, Madhuri Dixit or Aishwarya Rai... Sridevi was not a learned dancer. As a working actor since the age of 4, all her learning was on set. The others went to dance classes, learned the art form for stage shows. Sridevi never did - she was an actor who danced well. In other cases, they were dancers who were asked to act...
But when we think of great dancers in cinema, Sridevi's name crops up time and again.
Scroll back to an interview with Kamal Haasan who spoke about Sridevi not taking dance lessons, and wondering why. Then seeing her on screen and understanding. She didn't need to.
