Tribute to Shridevi

- February 25, 2022

There are very few actors who leave an impact on us. Shridevi was amongst them. I am sure there are innumerable fans of her. I am one of them. Credit goes to my elder sister. I was introduced to Shridevi's movies by my sister. She would made me watch every single movie of Shridevi. She being a diehard fan of Shridevi never missed any of her movies. Right from the hit movies like Majal, Mawali, Chalbaaz, Chandani, to the not-so-hit movies like Judai, Army, chand ka tukada, Chandramukhi, Mr. Becahra, we have watched all these movies in theatres. I remember, how I would come back from school, then eat my lunch in hurry and get ready for the afternoon show. Sometimes we would go with her friends and sometimes just two of us. In those days, my only driving force for going with her was the hot samosas and roasted peanuts that we used to get during the interval. Later on I started enjoying watching movies. Initially, what I admired the most was Shridevi's dancing skills. I remember, how I would perform on every new song of Shridevi along with my best friend in our society’s cultural program. We would love to dance to “Main teri dushman”, “mere haton mein nau nau chudiya”, “Morni baaga ma dole” which were the topmost songs in those days. Over the period, I became fan of Shridevi's acting skills too. My most favorite movies of shridevi are "Lamhe" and English Vinglish.
