Sridevi birthday special: The actress who will always remain our ‘Chandni’

Late Bollywood actress Sridevi would have been 55 today, making headlines for all the right reasons. Although the actress was media shy, turn on the camera, and she could light a thousand bulbs with her fascinating charm. Sridevi was one of those actresses who never had to be enrolled in an acting school to learn her craft. Before making her move in the Hindi film industry, Sridevi had proved herself in Tamil cinema. ‘Meendum Kokila’, ‘Sigappu’ ‘Rojakkal’, are considered her landmark films in Tamil. 1980 onwards, she rapidly picked pace in Hindi cinema. Sridevi outshone her male co-stars and these include names like Amitabh Bachchan, Mithun Chakraborty and Anil Kapoor. Although ‘Chandni’ and ‘Lamhe’ are two of her best-known Hindi films with ‘Chaalbaaz’, ‘Mr India’ and ‘Nagina’, Sridevi reminded you of her incredible variety. Her comic timing was arguably the sharpest. In 2012, she made a starry comeback with ‘English Vinglish’ setting high standards for Hindi film Industry again. Be 34, or 54 she was always camera ready. The actress who was last seen in ‘Mom’ will last be seen in Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film 'Zero'.
