Karishma Kapoor's post on Sridevi's passing.



There are few actresses who were not fans of Sridevi. In fact can't think of any... can you?!


Update: 

Karishma Kapoor's Shakti was Sridevi behind-the-scenes


Karisma Kapoor says she feels honoured having worked with veteran actress, the late great Sridevi in Shakti: The Power. The film featured Karishma opposite Sanjay Kapoor and with Nana Patekar in a pivotal role - a film produced by Sridevi.

Recalling working with her, Karisma took to Instagram and shared how Sridevi used to encourage her.

"Shakti. I was honoured to work in my favourite actress #Sridevi first production Sriji would encourage me and we would spend time between shots discussing my character on location," Karisma wrote.

Directed by Krishna Vamsi, Shakti revolves around the desperate efforts of a lone mother who tries her best to escape a far-flung feudalistic society with her young son. Shahrukh Khan had an extended guest-appearance in the film and Aishwarya Rai had a memorable cameo in the song Ishq Kamina

"It was a tough grueling shoot but I have such wonderful memories of the the entire cast and crew," Karisma added.

Karisma and Sridevi appeared together briefly in Shahrukh Khan's home production, Zero, which sadly ended up being Sridevi's final appearance in a Hindi film, before her untimely and tragic passing.

Sridevi's final on-screen appearance in Zero



At Sangam theatre the week of the film Zero's release, at an early morning show, the crowds gathered to grab their first look at the highly anticipated Shahrukh Khan extravaganza, they encountered a pleasant surprise as the first few reels appeared on screen. Shahrukh Khan opened the film with a tribute, "Your memory is a treasure, you are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure, Sridevi ji,"

As people mouthed out the words, the collective burst into applause, remembering the screen icon and her final appearance on film. With the passing of Sridevi - star of nearly 300 films in five languages - a chapter in Indian cinematic history closes forever.

RIP Sridevi.
