SRIDEVI
What a sad and sudden
demise! Was shocked on Feb.25, 2018 morning when TV flashed a news that
the first lady superstar of the
Bollywood, Sridevi had breathed her last in the previous night. I joined my job
on Aug16, 1963 and she was born only three days before that. From zero figure
to skin texture, dancing talent,
charming face and dialogue delivery, she appeared to be a complete heroine and justifiably the heartthrob of the
millions of cinegoers. Most of the films, she acted in, proved box office hits.
Despite being married with two children, Bony Kapoor, like Dharmendra-Hema,
became mad in her love and that ultimately culminated into the marriage. The
couple have two daughters, the elder one already in shooting for her debut
film. Unfortunately, Bony, who got coupled twice, still stands a widower.
There are many stories
behind this unexpected death. There was not any family history nor any cardiac
complication ever complained by her. Since she left the film at the height of
her career of her own choice, there was no room for any depression. Her last
appearance, after the break was MOM in which also she shone to the extent of
making it a bloclbuster. She was eager to see her daughter’s film released.
Still, the mysterious death did not have any mercy for this hawa hawai.
People, close to this
matchless heroine of yesteryears, share that her over zealousness to maintain
the figure and avoid signs of ageing, might have brought her end. The media
reports say that she underwent 39 cosmetic surgeries to keep her sagging
fleshes tight. Her weakness for making up lips repeatedly might have taken its
toll as well. We hope that the husband and other family members may throw more
light on this aspect. Anyway, now she is no more and we honestly pray for peace
to the departed soul.
