Sridevi: 90s throwback

 Colour correction and published in newspaper image restored. Somewhat successfully... 

Jeetendra and Sridevi

The infamous pigtails. Anytime Sridevi had her pigtails and plats, a certain section of Mumbai's media went after her hammer and tongs. The press said she was trying to look younger than she was and it was childish of Sridevi to sport the hairstyle of a five-year-old. 

She didn't listen to them and worked whatever style that suited her.

"Doll"-like Sridevi worked every look. 

Seen here with her 20+ senior co-star Jeetendra, they made mostly blockbusters at the box-office, critics be damned.

The early 90s perm on Sri! She looks great. 

Nagarjuna was 3-4 years older than Sridevi, but the media used to hint she was older - when she wasn't but had worked for far longer than her co-star. Which was true often.

Nagarjuna turns 66 today. We wish the fine actor well - and thank him for honouring Sridevi posthumously and keeping her memory alive by mentioning her name in interviews. 

They say, "Every person has two deaths, when one is buried in the ground and the last time someone says one's name."

Sridevi's film legacy in many ways makes her immortal.

Sridevi in pigtails: Cute as a button

Sridevi was often criticised for the plats and pigtails and trying to look younger than she was... 

Fact of the matter is, most Bombay film journalists forgot that this was a childhood and teenage years spent entirely on set and she wasn't as "ancient" [Sridevi quote!] as they thought she was! 

She was so cute! 20-year-old Sri on set. .
