Sridevi at Mumbai film festival MAMI (2012): Sri's designer Manish Malhotra Saree

Sridevi was asked to light the lamp at MAMI, 2012. One of Mumbai's most prestigious film festivals, fresh off the success of the well-received (and with Sridevi's universally appreciated performance), English Vinglish, Sridevi graced the occasion looking absolutely ravishing.

Gorgeous in yet another Manish Malhotra creation, Sridevi arrived at the event with her husband Boney Kapoor and eldest daughter Janhvi.

Actress Jaya Bachchan, director Ramesh Sippy, billionaire Anil Ambani with wife Tina Munim-Ambani, and other dignitaries from the film industry and captains of industry attended. Sridevi and Tina Munim worked in movies together back in the 1980s and caught up with each other.

Jaya Bachchan congratulated Sridevi on her amazing performance in English Vinglish and embraced her.  From one great actress to another....
