Shot by Shantanu Sheorey for Filmfare magazine (but this image ran in several other magazines too - long before 'exclusive' rights were established!), an outtake from a series he did in the early 90s of superstar Sridevi.

Sridevi in black lace, blue lenses, very subtle, very sensual.

This is so tame by today's standards but was seen as a controversial shoot by the then 34 year old when it was originally published (in several magazines including Filmfare, Stardust and MOVIE).

Sridevi was always game to work with new stylists, new photographers, new makeup artists - always ready to up her game with new blood and encouraging rising talent.

So many major stalwarts in the industry today mention how Sridevi gave them confidence and a career boost when they first started - be it Neeta Lulla or Manish Malhotra, be it a makeup artist or photographer like Palash Bose, Atul Kasbekar.

While Sridevi's legacy is firmly entrenched, her kindness and generosity will reverberate for generations too.

Sridevi's Sensual Seductress Shoot by Shantanu Sheorey

Oh we are not apologising for the blatant and deliberate alliteration there!  

😉

Shot by Shantanu Sheorey, an amazing Indian photographer (who famously married 1980s actress Kimi Katkar) who put a new spin in celebrity photography in the late 90s, these gorgeous shots of Sridevi were published in a handful of film magazines. They've found new life online as the images can be found in various websites and fan blogs - including ours. 

This is one of the hottest series of pics of Sridevi; its art directed with simplicity and minimalism. There's also a deliberate pivot in styling that 80s photographers were noted for. The absence of soft-focus, glossy looks that was the signature look of the decade is eschewed for a sharper aesthetic. . 

A media colleague pointed out that Sridevi looks like she's been styled to look a bit like Kimi Katkar here (the light eyes, the hot pink swimsuit top - sheathed in a revealing white shirt) but... that might be looking too much into things that weren't necessarily intended... Happenstance. Correlation not being causation...
