Sridevi at the Yash Chopra Memorial Awards 2016 honouring Rekha: Sridevi stuns in a Sabyasachi Mukherjee Sari




A ten year throwback, Sridevi looked so perfect at this event honouring Rekha. Friends from beginning to end...





Rarely does Sridevi ever go wrong wearing Sabyasachi and this recent sighting of hers was no exception either. Pairing the Sabya sari with an embellished clutch, also from the designer, an updo, a small bindi and gorgeous Sunita Kapoor polki earrings finished out the actor’s look while at an award ceremony in Mumbai.

Wouldn’t change a thing; Sridevi looked great!

The 3rd Yash Chopra Memorial Award ceremony took place in Mumbai on January 25, 2016, organised by the TSR Foundation under T. Subbarami Reddy. 

The prestigious event was established to honour iconic figures for their outstanding contributions to Indian cinema, carrying a gold medal alongside a cash prize of ten lakh rupees. 

Veteran actress Rekha was chosen as the guest of honour for her seminal body of work in Hindi cinema and her memorable collaborations with late filmmaker Yash Chopra, most notably in the classic romantic drama Silsila. 

She received the award from C. Vidyasagar Rao, the Governor of Maharashtra. In her emotional acceptance speech, Rekha reflected on how the legendary director taught her the true essence of love through his cinematic craft and inspired her journey as a poetess. 

Attending in an exquisite Sabyasachi Mukherjee sari, Sridevi shared the stage to applaud her peer. Sridevi expressed immense joy and respect for Rekha, praising her as a true diva, an enduring inspiration, and a deeply deserving recipient of the honour. She noted how Rekha's grace, versatility, and timeless contribution to Indian cinema continue to motivate generations of actors. 

The star-studded gathering brought together prominent Bollywood stalwarts and dignitaries. Guests present at the evening included Ranveer Singh, Shatrughan Sinha, Jaya Prada, Simi Garewal, Subhash Ghai, Boney Kapoor, and Yash Chopra’s widow, Pamela Chopra, who all gathered to celebrate Rekha’s legacy. 

Born on October 10, 1954, Rekha turns 72 years old today.
