The Sridevi shoot for Star & Style: TBT to June 17-30, 1988

As the date indicates, this was shot long before Chandni released at the end of 1989, but these images were used in the film - shot by "Rohit" in the movie... ie Rishi Kapoor, but in fact, shot by Sridevi's favourite photographer, Rakesh Shreshta. The only man who has more images of Sridevi than us!!

The title is beyond cringe, " The industry's hottest love couple..." 

Yikes. 

Well, Star & Style went belly-up a while ago now. This GORGEOUS shot of Sridevi and Rishi  Kapoor is too lovely though - from the famous finale scene in Chandni.

Sridevi and Rishi Kapoor were perfect foils for the other, they matched steps in acting, dancing, natural performance.... Rishi Kapoor spoke so well about Sridevi throughout, eg on Kapil Sharm's show, "Kamaal ki actress thi woh. Kuch bhi kar sakti thi."

There is a big board with a "NO ENTRY" sign prominently displayed. Completely ignoring its existence, Sridevi whizzes past the sign board riding her Honda.
