The Sridevi wallpaper at Yash Raj Studios: WANT! 

Was watching the Anupama Chopra and Karan Johar chat when all we could look at was 'the' Sridevi from a Chandni still, at Yash Raj studio. 

Both are mega fans of Sridevi so this seems apt. Anupama Chopra was one of the first few to repeatedly call the late actress, "the great Sridevi." 

K Jo has been a super fan for years. So hardly a surprse they both co-opted this space to shoot their interview.

Anupama Chopra with Sridevi and Gauri Shinde back in 2012 when the two were promoting the exquisite Hindi film, English Vinglish.

The Front Row: Sridevi and Gauri Shinde chat with Anupama Chopra: Topic of the year: English Vinglish (2012)

One of the finest film-based shows on TV, Sridevi sparkled with Anupama Chopra and Gauri Shinde on The Front Row on Star World. 

The always articulate host mentions that there isn't even "a hint of rust": in Sridevi's stellar performance, a performance that shimmered on screen after a self-imposed 15-year hiatus.

Our only minor grievance, Ms Chopra should have given the film a better rating considering how much she (and others) have praised the film and its "triumphant" lead. 

English Vinglish is pretty much a flawless film and to get just 3.5 out of a 5 star rating seemed myopic... 

Excerpt: 

But even when the film feels shaky and stretched, Sridevi doesn't miss a beat. Her performance is a triumph.

She's vulnerable and sad, yet selfless and strong, in the way we all know our mothers to be. She imbues Shashi's quest for respect with genuine emotion. It's hard to imagine that this is an actor who hasn't worked in fifteen years.:
