Sridevi's friends Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth mourn her demise

<p>Cinema will never be the same again. The exuberance and the innocence that Sridevi got to her roles will never be there again. She was the first female superstar of Bollywood, and a trailblazer, who inspired many of the contemporary actresses. She was the reason why many took up filmmaking just in the hope that one day she would work with them. Bollywood will never be same without her.</p>

<p>Born in Tamil Nadu&rsquo;s Sivakasi on August 13, 1963, Sridevi perhaps only understood the language of cinema as she made her foray into acting at the tender age of four. She first appeared in a film called <em>Thunaivan</em> where she played Lord Muruga. Conversant in both Tamil and Telugu languages, Sridevi in the 1960s and early 1970s acted in films in both these languages as a child artiste. In fact, in 1975, she was also part of Julie where she played the sister to the main protagonist.</p>

<p>Her first adult role came a year later, in 1976 in a film called <em>Moondru Mudichu</em> and co-starred Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan. She was 13 then. She eventually went on to do a number of films with these two actors and trio dominated Tamil cinema in the 1970s- early 80s.</p>

<p>Her Bollywood debut in 1979 in a film called<em> Solva Saal </em>may have gone unnoticed but she made everyone sit up and take notice of her when four years later, she starred opposite Jeetendra in <em>Himmatwala</em>. A major blockbuster, people suddenly woke up to Sridevi and lauded her dancing skills. Sridevi and Jeetendra were a hit pair post the success of Himmatwala and went on to feature in several films together including Tohfa, Mawaali, Maqsad. In fact, the <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/entertainment-sridevi-best-songs-playlist-33977">song<em> Naino Mein Sapna</em> from <em>Himmatwala</em> became a cult song and is revered till date.</a></p>

<p>While Sridevi continued to feature in commercial cinema- most of them had her in glamorous avatar- the actress stunned critics and fans alike in a role that was career defining. In Balu Mahendra&rsquo;s <em>Sadma</em> (originally made in Tamil <em>Moondram Pirai</em>) Sridevi played a child-woman diagnosed with retrograde amnesia who is nurtured back to health and normalcy by a do-gooder Somu played by Kamal Haasan. Perhaps one of the most poignant love-stories in modern day cinema, it had remarkable performances by both the actors. A difficult role to play, Sridevi swelled as Nehalata and won the Best Actress Filmfare Award for the pitch-perfect portrayal of a child-woman for that role. It remains one of the best roles of her career.</p>

<p>She was a trendsetter. Whether it came to the kind of roles she chose to work in, the money that demanded at the peak of her career, or the way she chose to settle down with a much married Boney Kapoor at the peak of her career, everything made headlines. Some of her work inspired actors in later years, some ruthlessly copied her style and some dedicated their performances and films to her. Her personal life made headlines and raised eyebrows - she was reportedly pregnant with her first child Jahnvi when she married Boney Kapoor in a secret ceremony- but Sridevi set her own rules and lived by them.</p>

<p>She took a break at the peak of her career when she got married and had her daughter Jahnvi. In 2012, after nearly two decades of staying away from the arclights, Sridevi made a comeback in English Vinglish and reinstated our love for her. As the under-confident Shashi who secretly learns English to earn the respect of her family, Sridevi won hearts one more time with her beautiful performance. She was last seen in Mom in 2017.</p>

<p><em>Chandni, Lamhe, </em><em>Mr</em><em> India, Chaalbaaz, Judaai </em>are some of the blockbusters that Sridevi was part of. The actress was honoured with Padmashri in 2013 and had won 6 Filmfare awards.</p>

<p>She had shot for a cameo appearance in SRK&#39;s Zero-which will now be the last screen outing of the legend.</p>

A trailblazer, Sridevi inspired an entire generation of actors with her body of work.

Cinema will never be the same again. The exuberance and the innocence that Sridevi got to her roles will never be there again. She was the first female superstar of Bollywood, and a trailblazer, who inspired many of the contemporary actresses. She was the reason why many took up filmmaking just in the hope that one day she would work with them. Bollywood will never be same without her. Born in Tamil Nadu’s Sivakasi on August 13, 1963, Sridevi perhaps only understood the language of cinema as she made her foray into acting at the tender age of four. She first appeared in a film called Thunaivan where she played Lord Muruga. Conversant in both Tamil and Telugu languages, Sridevi in the 1960s and early 1970s acted in films in both these languages as a child artiste. In fact, in 1975, she was also part of Julie where she played the sister to the main protagonist. Heartfelt tribute to #Sridevi .

<p>She would light up the screen with her charm. Any song that featured Sridevi would become a sure shot hit. Such was her charisma. With her awe-inspiring&nbsp;dancing skills, her grace and the eyes that could easily light up a room, Sridevi made some very ordinary songs extraordinary.</p>

<p>The actress, whose death has left the entire country in shock, was not a&nbsp;trained dancer and yet was considered one of the best dancers in the film industry. From <em>Morni </em>in <em>Lamhe</em> to <em>Hawa Hawai&nbsp;</em>in<em> </em><em>Mr</em><em> India</em> to <em>Mere Hathon Mein </em>in <em>Chandni</em> to <em>Navrai Majhi</em> in<em> English Vinglish</em>, Sridevi made so many songs iconic with her dancing skills. But her abilities were not only restricted to dancing. She was equally good emoting in emotional songs as well.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There will never be another Sridevi. No one will ever come as close to her and her charm. And while the void can never be filled again, Sridevi leaves a huge body of work that her fans will now cherish.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Here are some of the songs that were made iconic by her.&nbsp;</p>

Remembering Sridevi: The songs that made her a superstar

<p>Veteran film actor and Padma Shri awardee Sridevi, who had an illustrious career spanning over four decades, <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/film-fraternity-fans-react-to-sridevis-tragic-demise-33959">passed away</a>. She was 54.</p>

<p>The actor, the wife of producer Boney Kapoor, died late in the night reportedly due to cardiac arrest in Dubai, where she had gone along with her family to attend her nephew Mohit Marwah&#39;s wedding.</p>

<p>Confirming the news, a source close to the family said, &quot;Yes it&#39;s true. She was in Dubai while some of the other family members came back to India. We hear it&#39;s <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/film-fraternity-fans-react-to-sridevis-tragic-demise-33959">cardiac arrest</a>.&quot;</p>

<p>While some of her family members returned from Dubai after the wedding, Sridevi, Boney and her younger daughter Khushi stayed back. Her elder daughter -- Janhvi -- had not travelled with the family because of the shooting schedule for her upcoming Bollywood film, her first in the industry.</p>

<p>Sridevi, known for her versatility as an actor, made her Bollywood debut in 1978 with &quot;Solva Sawan&quot;. But it was only after five years with Jeetendra-starrer &quot;Himmatwala&quot; that she gained commercial success.</p>

<p>Before her entry into Bollywood, the actor had been a known face in South Indian films. She made her debut as a child artist in in Tamil film &quot;Thunaivan&quot; in 1969. She also worked in Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada films.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/film-fraternity-fans-react-to-sridevis-tragic-demise-33959">Sridevi</a>&#39;s beguiling eyes, scintillating screen presence and acting prowess soon made her one of the most sought-after actors in the Hindi film industry. While films like &quot;Mawaali&quot; (1983), &quot;Tohfa&quot; (1984), &quot;Mr India&quot; (1987) and &quot;Chandni&quot; (1989) kept her at the top in the box-office game, her outings like &quot;Sadma&quot; (1983), &quot;ChaalBaaz&quot; (1989), &quot;Lamhe&quot; (1991), and &quot;Gumrah&quot; (1993) earned her critical acclaim.</p>

<p>She went on a hiatus for 15 years after starring in home production &quot;Judaai&quot;, co-starring her brother-in-law Anil Kapoor and Urmila Matondkar. It was director Gauri Shinde&#39;s &quot;English Vinglish&quot; in 2012 that marked Sridevi&#39;s comeback.</p>

<p>Her nuanced performance as a middle-class woman, learning to speak English to feel accepted by her family, won accolades, and the film was also a commercial success. Last year, she was seen in revenge-drama, &quot;Mom&quot;, opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Akshaye Khanna. She also shot for a special appearance in superstar Shah Rukh Khan&#39;s upcoming film, &quot;Zero&quot;, which releases in December.</p>

<p>Sridevi was awarded the Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian honour, in 2013.</p>

<p>Minutes after the news of her death broke, many Bollywood actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Sushmita Sen, Sidharth Malhotra and Riteish Deshmukh took to Twitter to pay their condolences.</p>

<p>The first one, however, was megastar Amitabh Bachchan who in a cryptic tweet wrote, &quot;Don&#39;t know why, feeling a strange restlessness.&quot;</p>

The actress was in Dubai with her family to attend her nephew’s wedding

Veteran film actor and Padma Shri awardee Sridevi, who had an illustrious career spanning over four decades, passed away. She was 54. The actor, the wife of producer Boney Kapoor, died late in the night reportedly due to cardiac arrest in Dubai, where she had gone along with her family to attend her nephew Mohit Marwah's wedding. Confirming the news, a source close to the family said, "Yes it's true. She was in Dubai while some of the other family members came back to India. We hear it's cardiac arrest." While some of her family members returned from Dubai after the wedding, Sridevi, Boney and her younger daughter Khushi stayed back. Her elder daughter -- Janhvi -- had not travelled with the family because of the shooting schedule for her upcoming Bollywood film, her first in the industry. Sridevi, known for her versatility as an actor, made her Bollywood debut in 1978 with "Solva Sawan". But it was only after five years with Jeetendra-starrer "Himmatwala" that she gained commercial success. Before her entry into Bollywood, the actor had been a known face in South Indian films. She made her debut as a child artist in in Tamil film "Thunaivan" in 1969. She also worked in Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada films. Sridevi's beguiling eyes, scintillating screen presence and acting prowess soon made her one of the most sought-after actors in the Hindi film industry. While films like "Mawaali" (1983), "Tohfa" (1984), "Mr India" (1987) and "Chandni" (1989) kept her at the top in the box-office game, her outings like "Sadma" (1983), "ChaalBaaz" (1989), "Lamhe" (1991), and "Gumrah" (1993) earned her critical acclaim. She went on a hiatus for 15 years after starring in home production "Judaai", co-starring her brother-in-law Anil Kapoor and Urmila Matondkar. It was director Gauri Shinde's "English Vinglish" in 2012 that marked Sridevi's comeback.
