Lady in red: Sridevi styled by Manish Malhotra

 

The beautiful Sridevi centrefold - that face! The 90s perm framing her visage, the styling of newcomer Manish Malhotra - this was a Stardust spread in the mid 90s.

Photography by Sridevi's perpetual favourite Rakesh Shreshta - she was his favourite too and addressed her as 'Maai...'

TBT: Throwback to summer of 1986

Mid.

Middle of the 1980s, this centrefold and shoot with Sridevi is... easily one of my least favourite images of the great Sridevi. Everything is a hot mess... but a reflection of the time. So its here in the blog! 

Despite the obvious obsession, am not blind to the errs of Sridevi either. Be it bad film choices, makeup, outfits or partners... She was divine on screen, all too human off.

 The looks were impeccable and so was the delicate styling... Gorgeous Sridevi.

Amitabh Bachchan and Sridevi's Cine Blitz centrefold: TBT to June 1986!

Amitabh Bachchan and Sridevi on the sets of Aakhree Raasta back in the summer of 1986. A Cine Blitz centrefold!

Sridevi didn't love her role or this film (tbh neither did we!), but she did it for the producers who had long-supported her. Sridevi didn't sign a film with Bachchan until 1990 when Khuda Gawah was launched and she had equal (some might even say longer/meatier + double role!) footage and screen time as Big B! In show-biz, she understood both 'show' and 'biz'--Sridevi signed her biggest contract with this movie.

Throwback to October 1988, Sridevi's centrefold for Cine Blitz magazine, for the cover shoot and feature.

 

The Sridevi centrefold: 80s fashion and the white prom dress

A look from a song in Naaka Bandi; the Sridevi centrefold in Hindi tabloid in the late 80s. The film released in 1990 but was in production for long. This image was published around Dec 1988 in Star & Style for example. 

The white turban, the glossy makeup, the white prom dress - ah 80s fashion tho'!

The Sridevi Filmfare Centrefold

This gen will not understand the joy of the centrefold! Finding a double-page-spread of your favourite star was palpable  - you'd cut it out and put it on the wall - and got yelled at by a parent for doing so!
