Woman in Black

A throwback pic to Sridevi's cover shoot with Hi! Blitz back in 2010. With a long hiatus from the glamour industry, Sridevi hadn't done a shoot or interview in years post-Judaai, so this was a wow moment for all us Sridevi fans. The cover shoot was stunning, clicked by hot-shot photographer Jatin Kampani

Third time's the charm! Sridevi graces the cover of Hi! Blitz yet again. She's rocked the covers in 2010, 2014 and on the eve of Puli's all-India release, in 2015, the stunning visage of Sri will hit newsstands all over. In a sensual black satin ensemble by ManishMalhotra, Sri looks like the empress of elegance that she rightfully is.

Hi! Blitz cover girl: Sridevi in 2014

Our reason to live, Sridevi, graces the cover of Hi Blitz the second time around. Looking ethereal, regal and luminous, she takes our breath away, yet again. Go grab a copy STAT! Despite some questionable hair/make-up styling (hmm - even the hardcore fans on Facebook have lamented a bit), she is a phenomenon and we are phenomenally blessed that she's still killing it on new-stands.

As the cover tag rightfully says, SRIDEVI; All Hail the Queen.

Hi! Blitz: Sridevi: The Goddess is Back: 2007

Quotes from Hi! Blitz:

The last of the superstars, she spun sexily in a blue chiffon sari in the rain for Mr India, and she fell in love with a man twice her age in Lamhe. When she waned out reel life for real life with producer Boney Kapoor, it blew the wind off Bollywood's sails. But the dazzling Sridevi, mother of two, has never looked more divine. Ex-superstar Sridevi, now supermom, chooses to make a come back with Hi!.

The Goddess is Back

The Indian silver screen diva and mother of two refuses to look any older from her Chandni days. Read the exclusive conversation with Sridevi talking about her new-found fitness regime, kids and her doting husband. Hi! comes home charmed with the superstar supermom and superwoman! We also get the dope on what she hopes is going to be her next career move.

Hi! Blitz: 2007: Sridevi cover: The Goddess is Back

Incredible series of pics for Hi! Blitz, 

Sridevi's rumoured - and yet to be proven - comeback news was cover story back in 2007. But the comeback was a return to glamour, photo-shoots and cover story of a glossy magazine... BUT no films. 

Loved getting the magazine. Most of the shots were great. Except one! 

From the Editor's Desk February 2007 High Blitz 

 "...The magic of Sridevi endures. So sighed the team as they finally pinned down the elusive diva after a three-month relentless chase. Hi! refused to bow down (the team is packed with Sridevi fans) and when the lady gracefully agreed to do us the honours and let us peep into her new life sans the fame and fireworks, the legendary charisma and beauty was as heady as ever. If anything, it has acquired a deeper hue with the actor's current happiness and security. With the other divas Kajol and Madhuri Dixit reinforcing the films-after-marriage trend, fans can hope to see Sridevi take the plunge too, soon..."
