SRK to Anil Kapoor: Bollywood actors Sridevi worked with

Sridevi, regarded as Bollywood’s first female superstar, left a lasting impact on the audience, her co-stars, friends and family, within the decades she spent in the film industry. Her untimely demise on February 24, 2018, sent everyone into a state of shock and grief.

Today, a year after her passing, family, friends and those close to her have been taking to social media to share their fondest memories of her. Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who worked with the actress in her last feature film, ‘MOM’, called to mind her diligence as an actress, saying that Srivedi wouldn’t sit down for hours on end till she got a scene right. On a personal note, he also shared his admiration for her sense of humour and a “certain mischievousness” that he came to know of during their film promotions.

Nawaz, who admitted that he took up the project just because Sridevi was in it, recalled feeling shy and “uncomfortable” when the actress commended him for his performance and even said that her kind words wouldn’t sink in because she was such a big actress and that she was a star of such high stature.

The star also shared a treasured memory of Sridevi personally calling him for her birthday party. While saying that he had initially turned down the invite from her husband Boney Kapoor, citing his hectic shooting schedule, he said he couldn’t refuse when the actress herself called him over.
