Gorgeous Sridevi

 Gorgeous Sridevi 

Nepo Baby Ekta Kapoor with her superstar father Jeetendra and newcomer to Bollywood, young Sridevi!

A major throwback, eight-year-old Ekta Kapoor, first-born of Bollywood superstar Jeetendra seen here on stage with Sridevi, 20, during the celebration of the silver jubilee of the Hindi film Himmatwala (1983). 

Ekta Kapoor has proved herself to be a television titan, easily one of the smartest and business savvy women ruling networks. Her critics-and my there are aplenty of those-be damned as nothing succeeds like success. The handful of critics are no match for the TRP ratings as nearly every household across the nation of a billion is watching a show that traces back its origins to the office and mind of young Ms Kapoor. 

Have always been a fan of Ekta's take-no-prisoners approach to interviews and taking critics head on, retaliating fire with fire. At her level of success and Rolls Royce chauffeur driven lifestyle, a few naysayers are not damaging her career.

Sridevi's fashion moment in Nigahein: Summer of 1989: The bright colours of Sri's salwars

Sridevi's fashion moment in Nigahein: Summer of 1989: The bright colours of Sri's salwars 

Released just weeks before the release of Sridevi's most memorable role and film Chandni, Sridevi was in her fashion element and blazing beauty. She's so incredibly gorgeous in the film.

The white salwaar kameez: The real pic: The Fake Pic. Why do fans create fake pics - when we literally have over  500,000 original pics of Sridevi here?!

Sridevi in Nigahein: Nagina Part II

So timing and perspective is so important here. 

Nigahein was released less than a month from Chandni - Sridevi in her mid-twenties and looked flawless in both films. The overwhelming success of Chandni put a lunar eclipse on Sri's other releases that year. We re-watched the film (Thanks Amazon Prime!) and oh Sri's sooooooo gorgeous in the underappreciated film. 

It was NOT a flop as originally printed and perpetuated online. The film recovered from its production costs within its first week itself and was a safe film for all concerned. 

Watch the movie for the glory and gorgeousness of this iconic Indian actress.

Sridevi's sartorial selects in Chandni: The 1989 salwar kameez phenomena

For Bollywood fashion insiders, y'all need to freeze frame every look, accessory of Sridevi in the musical rom com epic, Chandni. 

The 1989 blockbuster is the benchmark for 80s fashion perfection. Sublime in its simplicity, gorgeous Sridevi, her retinue of designers, the edits by the famed producer and director who had the finest aesthetic sense in Indian cinema... 

Sridevi at home

Rare pics of Sridevi not on film or on a set. She spent most of her life between studios and film shoots. What an incredible life of superstardom and celebrity.

Sridevi wearing... Manish Malhotra sari we believe...

Behind Sridevi, an alumni of legends' - Meena Kumari, Madhubala, Marilyn Monroe - portraits line the wall.

Sri was referred to as a "living legend" as early as 1996, by age 33, by Shahrukh Khan no less.

Sri from a dinner hosted for Orlando Bloom back in Dec 2015 - more in the archive here. Another Manish outfit below.

Sridevi's guest appearance for a Jeetendra film

Sridevi in the film Aag aur Shola - an extended cameo really more than a full fledged role. 

Of all things the song - Aaj Subah - was a chart-topper for weeks on end and the fashion, the colours and salwaars were a huge hit in the mid-80s. 

Sridevi, MGR and Sridevi's parents!

Wow - what a rare pic. Sridevi with MGR, her father Ayappan and her mother Rajeshwari

About thirty plus years separate the above two pics. A still from the 1980s and one from 2017! Sridevi's incredible!
