Sridevi was born on 13 August 1963 in Meenmapatti, a small village in Tamil Nadu. Sridevi acted in a Tamil film at the age of just four. Then hardly anyone has thought that this child artist will one day get a star status in the Hindi film industry. Till 1976, Sridevi worked as a child artist in many South Indian films. She started her career as an actress with the Tamil film ‘Mundru Mudichi’.
Sridevi acted in about 300 films in her three -decade long career. These include 63 Hindi, 62 Telugu, 58 Tamil and 21 Malayalam films. Sridevi made a comeback with the film ‘English Vinglish’, directed by Gauri Shinde, about 15 years after her marriage. Sridevi was honored with the Padma Shri by the Government of India in view of her contribution in the field of art. Apart from this, she was also given the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for ‘Chalbaaz’ and ‘Lamhe’.
Bollywood debut with ‘sixteenth Sawan’
In Hindi films, Sridevi started her cine career with the 1979 film ‘Sixteenth Sawan’. The film was rejected by the audience. Sridevi returned to South Indian films. In 1983, Sridevi once again made her Bollywood debut through the film ‘Himmatwala’ and then remained here. After the success of the film, she managed to make her mark in the Hindi film industry as an actress. In this film, his opposite Bollywood jumping jack i.e. Jitendra was in the lead role.
‘Nagina’, ‘Mr. India’ and ‘Chalbaaz’, different style in every film
The film ‘Nagina’, released in 1986, proved to be an important film of Sridevi’s cine career. In this film, Sridevi played the role of wishful serpent. Sridevi also introduced her excellent dancing skills in the song ‘Main Teri Dushman Dushman Dushman Tu Mera …’ from this film.
The special thing is that even after this, many films were made on fantasy like Nag-Nagin, but no one could achieve success like ‘Nagina’. The 1987 film ‘Mr. India’ proved to be Sridevi’s most successful film. In 1989, another important film of Sridevi’s cine career ‘Chalbaaz’ was released. Sridevi played the role of two twins in this film.
Was the first actress to get a fee of Rs 1 crore
In Bollywood, the actor always gets more fees than the actress. But in the 80s and 90s, producer-director considered Sridevi as the biggest formula to make films a hit. This is the reason why Sridevi was such an actress at that time, who first received Rs 1 crore as fee. She had the status of being the first Lady Superstar of Bollywood.
