Sridevi in white

 

Rocking the fashion of the early 90s, gorgeous Sridevi. 

The image was used on the cover of Stardust annual back in 1992 - more in the archive here.

Birth Anniversary of Sridevi: August 13

 

This Sridevi fan page was launched on August 14, 2000. We posted twice daily. Sometimes more... Not only has the fan affection of Sridevi not diminished, it has quadrupled over the years. Our stats are at record high - which means, we've had to be firm in only posting what we know as true - or the accepted truth. 

Sridevi's intro look in the song Yeh Hai Sharaabkhana, from the film Gumrah (1993): Bollywood Queen

From the song 'Yeh hai sharaab khana...

Ther perm and short hair - you can tell this was one of the first things they shot for the film - as Sridevi had a short-wig 90s bob-cut look that she kept throughout the film!

Lady in red: Sridevi styled by Manish Malhotra

 

The beautiful Sridevi centrefold - that face! The 90s perm framing her visage, the styling of newcomer Manish Malhotra - this was a Stardust spread in the mid 90s.

Photography by Sridevi's perpetual favourite Rakesh Shreshta - she was his favourite too and addressed her as 'Maai...'

Sridevi's glasses

She famously had the most gorgeous eyes - except they were damaged by all the contact lenses, overworked strain and possibly refractive myopia... 

Sridevi wore glasses from her 30s on...

Defiant Sridevi in Army:

Released on 28 June 1996, though the film was called Army, it really was a vehicle to showcase Sridevi's prowess and powers. The Sholay story beats... were obvious. Just a gender swap...

TBT: Throwback to summer of 1986

Mid.

Middle of the 1980s, this centrefold and shoot with Sridevi is... easily one of my least favourite images of the great Sridevi. Everything is a hot mess... but a reflection of the time. So its here in the blog! 

Despite the obvious obsession, am not blind to the errs of Sridevi either. Be it bad film choices, makeup, outfits or partners... She was divine on screen, all too human off.

Rare pic: The Sridevi centrefold from the 90s: Rakesh Shreshta captures the Queen of Bollywood

 

This rare pic - have not seen many outtakes of this tie-dyed look - was published in Stardust annual in the early 1990s. Photographed by Sridevi's favourite Rakesh Shreshta... or was she, his favourite? Either way. This is a slightly altered image of Sridevi as fans will note - the original image is in the archive here - we asked Grok to remove the folded page wrinkle and centre the image. 

TBT: Sridevi's Centrefold from 1988!

Let's allll be glad 80s fashion, hair and makeup ended when it did!

Nagarjuna with gorgeous Sridevi in Govinda Govinda: RGV’s Ambitious Spiritual Heist That Didn’t Quite Click

In the early 1990s, Ram Gopal Varma was on a roll after hit after hit, and critical acclaim. Teaming up again with the ethereal Sridevi and Nagarjuna for Govinda Govinda (released 21 January 1994), expectations were sky-high. Produced by C. Aswani Dutt, the film mixed heist thriller, romance, and divine intervention in a supernatural tale centered on the theft of Lord Venkateswara’s crown.

Nagarjuna (then ~34) essayed Seenu, a grounded taxi driver, while Sridevi (~30) brought charm and strength as Naveena, the Bangkok-based NRI caught in the crossfire. Their chemistry, building on their earlier successful pairing, was a major draw. Raj–Koti’s soundtrack, featuring soulful and peppy numbers like “Andama Anduma” and “O Naveena,” stood out as a major plus and remains fondly remembered.

However, the film’s uneven pacing and genre-blending ambitions didn’t fully resonate with audiences, leading to commercial disappointment. Critics and viewers had mixed reactions, praising Sridevi’s screen presence and the devotional prologue but noting execution issues.

Despite the lacklustre box-office verdict, Govinda Govinda endures as an interesting experiment in Telugu cinema—showcasing RGV’s willingness to fuse mythology with modern thrills. Neeta Lulla’s costumes added visual flair to Sridevi’s looks. For fans of 90s Telugu cinema, the film offers nostalgia, great songs, and a rare on-screen reunion of two superstars. It may not have been a hit, but its ambition and music ensure it still finds viewers today. For devotees of screen Goddess Sridevi, its a pilgrimage worth the view. 

Sridevi with Govinda

 

Sridevi and Govinda on the sets of the only Hindi film they did together, Gair Kanooni, which released in early 1989,

We heard Govinda has been unwell and is in hospital. We wish the actor a speedy recovery. 

UPDATE: What a strange week its been for Bollywood. Not one but three iconic Indian actors were hospitalised, Dharmendra, 89, Prem Chopra, 90, and Govinda, 61. Happy to hear Dharmji and Govinda are home. We wish a speedy recovery to Chopra too. 

Sridevi's glittering costume for a Cine Blitz cover shoot!

Sridevi loved this costume from Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari which released in May 1990. Sridevi posed for the cover of Cine Blitz, March 1990 issue, with the famous look, but changed her hair for this slick perm. The MUA of that time, high glam and gloss.

Sridevi in 1987: The Golden Gal of Bollywood

On the cover of the now-defunct Star & Style, Sridevi heads the annual edition of 1987. A look from her film Guru, the all-gold ensemble, the 80s perm, the heavy gloss... signature 80s.
