Just last month remembering late Sridevi, Neeru Bajwa shared a video clip from the film 'Chaalbaaz' and in the caption mentioned "my fav" followed by a heart emoji. The clip featured Sridevi's (character name Manju's) fun banter with Mr. Daruwala over the beer bottles.

When Sridevi passed in 2018, then also Neeru Bajwa took to her social media handle to pay tribute. She shared a picture collage of the late star and wrote - "from you, you have given me and am sure so many other actresses so much... you will never know. Thank you for everything �� RIP ... Farewell ...#myinspiration"

It goes without saying though Sridevi is no more in the mortal world, she is alive in our hearts, in our memories.
