Here are five quotes from Anil Kapoor about Sridevi, drawn from reliable sources across different years:
1996 (Filmfare interview)
“I knew I’d look like a nerd opposite her – she was the ultimate showgirl, with her glamour. Oof, just dazzling… She was the complete star. Mr India was sold on her name.”
2012 (at the GQ Men of the Year awards)
“Well, she is a complete actress. I have done a lot of films with her and in the last many, many years, I think she is the best.”
August 2018 (Twitter post on her birth anniversary)
“A true star that shone brightly on-screen & lit up the lives of everyone she touched. Not a day goes by when we don’t miss you Sri. We see your reflection in Janhvi Kapoor & Khushi Kapoor everyday. You live on in our hearts & minds...”

December 2018 (on Dance Plus 4 Sridevi tribute episode)
“As an artist I feel blessed to have worked with Sridevi ji and she had a huge contribution to my career. She was an actor with immeasurable talent who could fill the screen with her magic. We shouldn’t remember her with sadness and rather celebrate her brilliance as a performer with love, affection and joy.”

February 2019 (to Mumbai Mirror, ahead of her death anniversary)
“She was my brother’s wife and my wife’s friend as they connected really well. Whenever we met there was always fun, laughter and humour. People like Sri ji are difficult to forget. Her body of work is fabulous and inspiring. Her films are still being seen and pictures still being published everywhere. She will always be missed.”

BTW Anil Kapoor is 6 years and 7 months older than Sridevi! The 'ji' is his sign of respect for a great artiste and co-star, who was a bigger star than him when they first started working together, especially during the making of Mr.India, when Sridevi was already ruling Bollywood after the stupendous success of Nagina.
