Are we overexplaining? Its for the new international fans of Sridevi from around the globe who are discovering her thanks to OTT platforms. 

A lot of Johnny-come-lately-s when it comes to Sridevi, esp after English Vinglish

Sridevi's Khushi: Superstar's youngest daughter in focus

Sridevi said often the happiest she's ever been in her life is with her family; after the birth of her children in particular. Just dozens and dozens of images reflect that. We have several posts on Janhvi Kapoor - more accessible as she's so visible in public life with her rising career in Bollywood - but here's a post on the youngling Khushi. 
 

Rare Pics: Sridevi with her children

The love and laughter is evident; such a lovely relationship Sridevi had with her children Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor.

TBT: Sridevi with her daughters. Sridevi's most perfect Manish Malhotra look. Ever.

Sridevi in a Manish Malhotra ensemble

Sridevi has relied on Manish Malhotra for many of her glittering ensembles and this uber elegant look by MM is our all-time fav. It's so appropriate, elegant, luxurious, beautifully made, exquisitely embroidered, stylish, slimming, flattering, luminescent.... basically, we're a fan! And its the way Sridevi carries it off too. Just soft and lovely.

Despite having an instagram and the most photogenic face - ever - Sridevi is hardly active on the social media site. So when she does post, everyone goes a bit aflutter. She posts images of her family and friends.

As Sridevi has said often, her pride and joy are her gorgeous children. Here are rare snaps of Sridevi with daughters Jhanvi and Khushi Kapoor.

Mother's Day: Sridevi Special: Superstar as Supermom at home with daughters Janvhi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor: May 2012

Here are two fabulous reasons why Sridevi has resisted a comeback for all these years; her lovely daughters Khushi Kapoor and Janhvi Kapoor. 

In honour of mother's day, here's a montage of pics of Sridevi with her kids. 

As she's said often in past interviews, she wanted to devote all her time to being a full-time mother and there was never a good enough offer to leave her comfort zone. 

With her kids grown up a bit, she finally agreed to do a Hindi film, English Vinglish, but the film was wrapped up quickly and during a time when her children had holidays and could accompany her on set. 

To all the great mothers in the world; Happy Mother's Day!

So, earlier today yet another fresh crop of crap has hit the net, the (fake) news that Janhvi Kapoor will be launched by Mani Ratnam in an upcoming film. Janhvi herself had to deny it at the red carpet at IIFA. 

Wish the Indian press would report with responsibility. Wish they would self-police too, in an ever-raging battle of idiocy and misinformation, is anyone watching what's being said and written?
