Famous Fan: Mithun Chakraborty!

 Mithun, "Sridevi is the most fantastic actress and the loveliest person I've ever come across. Some may think she's aloof, but she's so lively and warm. Just to see her work is an inspiration."

--Cine Blitz February 1986

Sridevi and Jeetendra in Aag Aur Shola (1986)

Sridevi from one of her (many) Jeetendra films, Aag Aur Shola.

Sridevi technically had an extended cameo in the movie - she doesn't appear until 1.hr 40 mins in and has one song and two scenes in the film! Being the huge star that she was, she features prominently in all the posters and publicity stills for the movie.

The song Aaj Subah Jab Main Jaga was a huge hit and had repeat play in radio stations all over.

Released on 13 February 1986.
