8.4 million views! Sridevi's largest fan site has record views!

 

Want to thank Sridevi fans who've shot this fan site to the stratosphere of mega clicks - the largest of its kind. 

We hope this page lasts longer than we do - forever and ever. 

Record views: Sridevi: Gone but not forgotten: 35 million hit!

Gone but not forgotten, yesterday was a record viewership for us. This isn't a tribute to anything we do but the love the world still has for a star like no other.

Someone messaged to say that we need to  stop policing Sridevi fans here, on Twitter and Instagram - when they over edit and corrupt original images, write things about her (like hyperbolic which inevitably becomes inaccurate features) and just let people be!

Ok!! It's a good life lesson! 

You do YOU boo! 

Unless its heinously wrong - we will... shut up! 

20th Anniversary of the Sridevi Fan Page

 

20 years ago today, I started the small Sridevi yahoo fan page - which has since morphed to this blog - to collect ALL images of Sridevi and collect every news-byte, feature and interview with her or in her orbit as an ardent fan. Along the way, I found the like-minded (and the insane!) and we've been growing together as the largest Sridevi fan site online.  

The numbers grew slowly and exploded in 2012 when it was made official that Sridevi would return to films, yanked out of her self-imposed retirement and hiatus by the formidable Gauri Shinde/R Balki/Boney Kapoor holy trifecta. 

Now, two years since her passing - or as we see it, return to her deity form as she was a Goddess* - we average between 2.5 - 3.2 million views till date. 

Gone, but not forgotten, Sridevi. Forever. And ever.

My oft-repeated Goddess anecdote. 

So for a cover story of Post magazine, I got to meet Sridevi on 30 August, 2012. At the end of the chat with Sridevi, I told her pls do more movies as we fans miss her so much and then talked briefly about a book; if I could write a biography of sorts on her. She said, "Why would anyone want to read a book on me? I'm just an ordinary woman..."

"NO!", you are not!" I loudly interjected. "You're a Goddess - you just don't KNOW you're a Goddess!".

She laughed. The PRS at the hotel laughed. Her personal-trainer laughed... 

I was hella serious! 

She patted my head (she's a lot taller) and walked away. 

RIP Sridevi.

Working on the Sridevi fan site now for 20 years (its earliest incarnation in Yahoo Groups - which now sadly is defunct), this is our 5000th post, with 7.5 million views this morning.

Want to thank all Sridevi fans, esp those who've sent articles, images and correct information, amendment notes, helpful edits and more. We hope the blog and the information and images last for millennia.
