The most comprehensive fan blog dedicated to India's most beautiful and greatest actress of all-time (in our humble opine!), Sridevi. Sridevi aka Sreedevi, ruled Indian cinema (with awesome performances in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi films) in a career spanning 50 incredible years featuring 266 films. Born in Sivakasi on August 13 1963, her untimely and tragic death on February 24, 2018 left a nation in mourning. In our hearts, she'll forever be, the eternal Queen of Bollywood.
Throwback to 2017! Manish Malhotra hosted a party to celebrate Sridevi’s 54th birthday, and of course, the entire crème de la crème of Bollywood showed up; an A-list line up of iconic Indian actresses celebrating the female fraternity of film icons. It turned into this rare, magical gathering where actresses of note from different generations came together, looking absolutely stunning and owning every bit of their power.

| Now and then: Anil Kapoor, Sridevi and Satish Kaushik |
Remembering actor, comedian, director Satish Kaushik on his birth anniversary today.
One performance in Mr.India as Calendar made him iconic!
Love that all his pics with Sridevi, both are laughing nonstop - revisit the archive of pics here.
Not AI slop or a fake pic, but one from the archives, throwback to 1990 when Chiranjeevi chose to step into Bollywood. He didn't find great success or acceptance in the industry like he did down south but his legend was already established, and he didn't need the footfall of others into his cinema halls.
More photos from this grandly attended event, with a phalanx of stars, is in the archive here.
-- April 10, 2000
There are images of Sridevi with Rishi Kapoor, with Yash Chopra at this event, this party that... we have no idea what the event was about. Some have suggested it might have been Chandni's audio release, it certainly wasn't the premiere of Chandni as the stars dressed different.
Archiving Sridevi's images with dates, or date of publication, location, reason, context has been all too important now that the legendary actress is no more. For historical accuracy.
A losing battle for us as now fake images, ai trickery (getting better with each passing month) and false narratives - visual and verbal - are taking over. Hate to be the Sridevi or indeed Bollywood police but... for the love of God, the truth matters. Fact over fan fiction...
Teen Deviyaan: Hema Malini, Juhi Chawla and Sridevi at a Lux event back in Sept 2005!
Hema Malini, Juhi Chawla, Sridevi, and Kareena Kapoor appeared together on stage at the Lux 75th anniversary celebration event that year, marking the brand's diamond jubilee since its launch in India in 1929.
At the silver jubilee party of Mr.India, Sridevi shared a table with an animated Raj Kapoor, who, according to Boney Kapoor was trying to cast her for a film Ghoonghat ke Path Khol.
Sadly the film was never made as Kapoor fell ill soon after and never recovered.
Sridevi attends an event in a signature white sari: 30, March 2010!
More images of Sridevi looking beautiful at the event in the archive here.
Sridevi attended designer Maheka Mirpuri's Summer white collection.
Decked in ivory and gold, tall and imperial Sridevi in traditional Indian attire (take a bow Sabya!) was unbeatable. She looked like an exquisite, fragile but strong, Indian temple Goddess who came to life when she swanned into an event.
Famously, a designer friend of hers said, when they were shopping in Italy, even though many didn't know who exactly she was, the staff of a posh hotel and store figured out that she was someone accustomed to being looked at. Was she an Asian royal in disguise of the ordinary? Was she a performer of stage and cinema going incognito? They never fully realised as the tall, shy figure disappeared before they could ask.
Who's that girl?
We'll never know fully. Even now.
