Celebrity designer Neeta Lulla on working with Sridevi

Celebrity designer Neeta Lulla on working with Sridevi when she started her career; 

"....By 1992 I had already worked with Sridevi on many projects. She asked me to come in and work on this film [Roop ki Rani Choron ka Raja] as well, that was the time when she used to work in 2-3 films simultaneously so we were shooting on film first half of the day to a photoshoot and then another shoot the second half. 

The reason I selected this image is because I can never forget this rust colour. Sridevi had a great sense of colour and I owe my sensibility of colours to complimenting visuals from her. She described this colour as the colour we get when the marigold flower is semi dried and a fabric that had a very slight sheen and had a good fall, so I used a soft spun silk which was available then. 

The reason to use this image is also because I cannot forget the day of this shoot at RK Studio when we shot for this scene and then did a quick shoot with Gautam Rajadhyaksha for the cover of G Magazine in 30 minutes where I dressed her torso upwards in this look and then we resumed the film shoot later. Her dedication prioritisation and timing to complete her commitments is what has inspired me to this day."

Sridevi: A Rose by Any Other Name...

One of the most alluring portraits of Sridevi. Incredible. 

A simple shot of Sridevi holding a rose, she looks like she could be Mumtaz for whom the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal.... 

In a career spanning five languages and over 200 films, its funny how Sridevi never starred in a biopic.
