Sridevi at the premiere of Khuda Gawah

Released on 8 May 1992, there was no bigger film in the 90s than Khuda Gawah -- a movie meant to be seen ONLY on the BIG screen.  We have so many features and images from the film in the archive here.

The premiere was phenomenal - god bless Lehrein Retro for this clip - but its so odd that there isn't a SINGLE shot of Sridevi at her own film's premiere!!! WHY? What happened. Of course we know she was there - there are dozens of photos (like the two above) -- as Sridevi attended the event with her mother. She was on stage with her co-stars, choreographer Saroj Khan and so on. Perhaps she didn't sign off on the release with Lehrein? If anyone knows, kindly let us know below.

TBT: Sridevi and Juhi Chawla at a party together

At a dinner party hosted by industrialist and politician, T Subbarami Reddy, at hotel Taj in Colaba, Mumbai on February 7, 2010, all eyes were on Sridevi and Juhi Chawla as they met after long at the star-studded affair. Sridevi, who hasn't appeared on a film since 1997, was a vision in pink, looking as glamorous as ever. Juhi Chawla, who attended the event with her media-shy husband, industrialist Jai Mehta, said to the press that she was a Sridevi "super fan" and was thrilled to see her after long. Notoriously shy superstar Sridevi did not meet the media, but posed happily for the shutterbugs with husband Boney Kapoor.

Sridevi in and as Malini Iyer (2004): Sridevi's first and only sitcom for Sahara TV

Such infinite comedic gifts but shoddy writing, directing... the fake laugh track. Uff... I've never wanted to love a show more but was disappointed by the final outcome. Saw the entire show (and still have it on VCR!) just to see Sridevi again. And again. 

A misstep. But, the Kapoors were financially well-compensated! Sridevi herself spoke about the troubles she had with the grueling shooting schedule and the time it took her away from her children. 

Sridevi absolutely glowed in the show. But... it really wasn't a good show. 

5 times Sridevi hit IIFA's Red Carpet and Smashed It! Gown and Glory of Sridevi Kapoor: Iconic Indian Actress

Sridevi's best looks for IIFA Red Carpet: Gown and Glory of Sridevi Kapoor: Iconic Indian Actress 

This year IIFA is going to honour Tamil cine-icon and legend Kamal Haasan with a notable accolade, the 2023 IIFA Outstanding Achievement in Indian Cinema, on Saturday 27th May 2023, at Etihad Arena, Yas Island – Abu Dhabi.

There are only two people who can share the stage with him and confer him the honours, one in heaven Sridevi and the other, the humble Rajinikanth, who is not known for pomp and circumstance off-screen. 

Back in 2018, one of the last things she did on a public forum was present Kamal Haasan an award, before she left us all far too soon .

Sridevi ruling in Adutha Varisu (1983)

Sridevi ruling in Adutha Varisu (1983) This Tamil film was dubbed into Hindi too after Sridevi and Rajnikanth became pan-Indian famous but neither Rajnikanth nor Sridevi dubbed for the Hindi version and the film barely registered at the box-office - unlike the original.
