Three years to her self-imposed hiatus and break from the industry, Sridevi looked just radiant on stage, reminding the world she was indeed the eternal Chandni.

TBT to 2000: Sridevi, Aishwarya Rai, Anil Kapoor, Boney Kapoor, Pahalaj Nihalani and PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee

Major 23 year throwback Thursday; Sridevi, Aishwarya Rai, Anil Kapoor and Boney Kapoor and others with the then Prime Minister of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee. 

These photographs were taken in the year 2000 when a Bollywood contingency was in in New Delhi to give a cheque to the PM's charity. The cast and crew of the film Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai were shooting in New Delhi at the time - they met the Indian Prime Minister to donate to charitable funds.

From one screen Goddess to another: Sridevi presents Aishwarya Rai her first Best Actress trophy.

It was the year 2000, a turn of the century, a hallmark year, a transitional one. It was as if Sridevi  was anointing another South Indian actress to be the next number one star. 

Ash had a high watermark year with the stupendous success of Taal (1999) and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999). Reminding many of a decade earlier when Sridevi had a similar double whammy of Chandni and Chaalbaaz (1989)

Talent recognises talent, Sridevi had given Ash the nod of approval long back and the two remained friends from beginning to... well, Sri's tragic end. 

Ah cruel fate...

TBT: Rare Pic: Boney Kapoor posts rarely seen photo of Sridevi with Lata Mangeshkar on the sets of Pukar (2000)

Produced by Boney Kapoor, the award-winning film Pukar was released on Feb 4, 2000. On its 22nd anniversary, on his official Instagram handle, Boney Kapoor posted this rarely seen image of himself, Sridevi and Lata Mangeshkar on the sets of the film. 

His caption, ""Will remain eternally grateful to Lataji for honouring us by agreeing to enact her song for our film, Pukar, a rare gesture... I will cherish forever." 

Sridevi spoke to Lataji before the shoot and the two discussed what she'd wear on screen. Though Sridevi suggested a colourful sari, Lataji preferred wearing a traditional white sari with a red border. Sridevi relented saying, "Whatever you want Didi."

Bless. 

Scroll the through the archive here to see our collection of pics of Sridevi with Lata Mangeshkar over the years. Their association goes all the way back to 1983 when Lataji sang Sridevi's first chart-topper, Nainon main Sapna in Himmatwala to Aaj Radha ko Shaam in Chand Ka Tukda. 

Happy Birthday Khushiloo! Sridevi's youngest child Khushi Kapoor turns 20 today

Sridevi's youngest daughter, Khushi Kapoor was born at the turn of the millennium. Fondly called Khushiloo by her late mother Sridevi (see Instagram!), the youngling has really come into her own and turned from gawky teen to millennial model!

Born on Nov 5, 2000, its her 20th birthday today. Having survived the trauma of losing her mother at a young age, this half-South-Indian, half-Punjabi girl has groomed herself into her a polished swan. 

Finally. 

Hopefully she'll go easy on the tattoos...

Happy days kiddo!
