Make-up Artist Ojas Rajani with Sridevi and Manish Malhotra

Ojas Rajani, Sridevi and Manish Malhotra

Celebrity make-up artist Ojas Rajani backstage with actress Sridevi and designer Manish Malhotra.

Back in 2007, this was a historic event for Sridevi fans as Sridevi did a pre-taped series of dances for Filmfare. Yanked out of her self-imposed hiatus, Manish Malhotra designed her stage outfits and Ojas did Sridevi's stage makeup. These behind-the-scenes snaps from Ojas' page are awesome.

Ojas spoke about working with Sridevi over the years, "In a matlabi industry, Sridevi was a loving person. What I really liked about her is that she respected our profession. She gave artists their due. She treated us like important people."

Marie Claire India: Sridevi: Return of the Original Diva

Sridevi, return of the original diva. 

 "...Our cover girl Sridevi is in reset mode, too. After reigning over Indian cinema as the undisputed, ultimate diva (Sridevi was called the Amitabh Bachchan of women, because she was the only lead actress who could make a film sizzle at the box office without a male lead), Sri is making a comeback. 

A super-successful career, happy marriage, beautiful children, peace and quiet, the star-turned-housewife is ready to come into the limelight again. That's what reinvention is about - finding new relevance of ourselves..." 

-- Neena Haridas, Editor, Marie Claire, India
