Sridevi An ode to the First Superstar

Woke up this morning to the shocking news of legendary actress Sridevi passing. For some time the mind went numb, all her pretty expressions , her funny dialogues and her mystical smile flashed in my mind.

An actress, who was beautiful, I reminisced her best works Chandni, Sadma, English Vinglish and Lamhe. Just a few days back had watched Lamhe, a movie well ahead of time and realised what a genius Yash Chopra was. Anil Kapoor and Sridevi at their charismatic best. So was Anupam Kher and Waheeda Rehman.

A versatile actress who did justice to all the roles offered to her with conviction. Be it Anju and Manju in Chaalbaaz, Chandni in Chandni, Nehalata in Sadma, Pallavi and Pooja in Lamhe, Shashi in English Vinglish,Sheetal in Laadla, Benazir and Mehendi in Khuda Gawah. You have left a legacy behind.

Rest in Peace Sridevi .You will be remembered always for the work you did and that million dollar smile of yours. A very nice 4 lines forwarded I loved aptly commemorates her contribution.

• वो "चांदनी" ना राही
• गहरा "सदमा" दे गयी 
• जिंदगी बड़ी "चालबाज" निकली
• सबसे "जुदाई "दे गयी 
• बडी जल्दी "आख़री रास्ता " से चली गयी 
• बहुत "लम्हे" बाकी थे 
• काश कोई "Mr इंडिया "आये और वह "नगीना " लौटा दे ||
