This site is about The First Female Superstar & The Last Empress of Indian Cinema
Sridevi is an Indian actress who acted in many different languages.
A Few Facts about Sridevi
Unlike all the other actresses before her and after her, Sridevi has not only shown versatility in acting, but also some records we want to share
A Fashion Diva
During her peak, everything she wore became a trend. Until today there are those Chandni Salwar Kameez that we all know about
A Trend Setter
She acts in a movie or a specific role, and it trends, whether it is in 1986 with Nagina, 1989 with Chandni, or 2012 with English Vinglish. Clones and copies of these and her other movies kept coming.
A Double Role Expert
Don’t even ask how many double roles she has done. There are many! Whether they are twins or mother and daughter, she perfected them all. And she still has the record of being the only actress who played a double role in front of Amitabh Bachchan.
The First Female Superstar
Her stardom was so big that they called her the hero of the film, and audiences went to the cinema to watch her. She could hold a movie on her own shoulder. This remained true even in her last two films. After all, she wasn’t named the Number One for over a decade for nothing.
The Last Empress
In the past, the only title a popular actress would get was queen. Sridevi’s stardom has become so huge that the title of queen was too small for her. Fans, critics, and media addressed her as The Last Empress.
The Mother of all Comebacks
She took a 14-year hiatus, but when she made a comeback, it became the best and the mother of all comebacks. No male or female stars could challenge that.
