Sridevi and Sunny Deol in Nigahein (1989)



Sridevi and Sunny Deol in the fantasy thriller Nigahein (1989). She looks so, so gorgeous in this movie. As one of the first few sequels ever to be made in Bollywood in the 1980s, the makers tried to cash in on the stupendous success of Nagina

Expectations were so sky-high (especially as the movie was released in the same year as Chandni and Chaalbaaz) that the producer and director locked in a third part for the film - to be titled Nagme. Sadly, due to the under-performance of Nigahein (and a whole glut of snake-based films that all tanked around the same time), the idea was scrapped.

Anil Kapoor and Sridevi on the sets of Mr India



With over 25 years come and gone since the release of this fantastic thriller Mr India, fans have lost patience waiting for the much-talked about sequel. Until the movie releases - at this rate, possibly in the year 2020 (!) -  here are some rare, newly-found snaps of Anil Kapoor and Sridevi on the sets of the film. Too cute. 

This was not in the movie - guess it got trimmed in the editing table for the long film. Hope there's a DVD with additional scenes one day! 


Fan Art of Shashi: Asian artists try to capture Sridevi in their signature style


As the film English Vinglish hit cinemas across the East - after its tremendous success in Hong Kong, Macau - the movie finds new audiences in Taiwan and parts of China. Sridevi's magical performance as Shashi, the slighted housewife, finds fans across the orient. 

Loving this fan art found online.

Sridevi at Bandra 190 Launch: Indian actress arrives with her sister-in-law Reema


Sridevi in the news
She came but for a moment, yet her impact lingered. Svelte and stunning Sridevi at the Bandra 190 launch. Keeping it chic, keeping it elegant, the gorgeous actress stuns yet again.

Sridevi arrived with her sister-in-law (Boney Kapoor's only sister); Reena Marwah (née Kapoor).

Posters of the Bollywood blockbuster Chandni (1989)










A joy to find rare posters of Chandni online. So gorgeous!

Lamhe (1991): Exquisite Sridevi in the song Megha re Megha: Popular gifs on trend




If you haven't got he blue ray of Sridevi's magical act in Lamhe - get it NOW! The glorious colours, music, acting, story, stars... its just the most faultless performance in Sridevi's illustrious career. A timeless classic that bears repeating.

These snaps from the underrated gem of a song, Megha Re Megha. Sri looks absolutely gorgeous in it. Sridevi talked about how "paunchy" she was during the shoot and she lost the weight before she worked on her role as Pooja. We find her endearing throughout. But naturally...

Take 2: Sridevi's straw hat and tye dyed top!




A gorgeous series of pics Sridevi did with her fav photographer Rakesh Shreshta in the 90s for MOVIE magazine.

The straw hat and tye-dyed top. Sri looks so cute!
