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.
Q: Were you peeved by the tag--Thunder Thighs-- once given to you?
Sridevi: Ha! No, I didn't take that seriously. It was given to me at the time of Himmatwala. I was very chubby then, I weighed 75kg. At the time of Chandni, I lost weight and came down to 57kg, which I think helped me a lot to impve my dancing..."
Himmatwala released on 25 February 1983 in India, a runaway success where Sridevi wowed the nation.
The western top, Indian skirt: Sridevi perfected this Manish Malhotra styled and designed look. A throwback to Akshay Marwah's wedding reception where the Kapoors turned out in full force looking elegant. Sridevi looking at her girls with such affection and pride was a perfect moment captured...
Well, its certainly not her first movie, not even her first Hindi movie, but it is Sridevi's first bonafide super duper Hindi hit; Himmatwala.
Sridevi, 20, became a pan-Indian super star with this rom com musical melodrama. Bollywood; why have one genre, when you can have them all in a movie?!
Personally, not a huge fan of the film itself-don't pelt me with stones-but Sridevi is incredible in the song and dance routines and of course, Nainon main sapna still gets over a 100 million hits on YouTube.
