The first Hindi cinema queen spot holder with a mammoth innings in Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil and a few Kannada films actress Sridevi passed awayon Saturday night around 11.30 pm at Dubai. At 54 she had massive cardiac arrest. Bony Kapoor and daughter Khushi were next to Sridevi when last call came from Yamadharmaraja.

Sridevi known for many popular films in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam has acted with almost all super stars and she had a very valuable innings when she came back too. Of course Sridevi was the first female superstar of Hindi cinema.

For the memory of Kannadigas they would have seen a small child in 1974 ‘Bhaktha Kumbara’ a devotional super hit film of Dr Rajakumar, Leelavathi, Manjula and others. She played the Muktha Bai character.

In 1979 when Priya was made in Kannada and Tamil by SP Muthuraman, she was opposite Rajanikanth. Before that a film films went on the floor such as Bala Bharatha, Sampoorna Ramayana etc but not seen the light of the day.

Sridevi won five FF awards. The government of India awarded her Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian honor, in 2013. The real ‘Chandini’ of Indian cinema was Sridevi.

The pride of Indian cinema Sridevi won many accolades in her career. There are innumerable films to remember Sridevi – she does not fade away from the memory.

Yet RIP for the greatest actress.
