Today, August 13, is the 62nd birthday of Shree Amma Yanger Ayyapan, the famous actress we all knew and loved as Sridevi. She started her adventure when she was four years old, and she would go on to become one of the best and most loved actors in Indian movie history. Her death in 2018 was too soon, but her memory lives on in the many great movies she made. As we remember her as an icon, let’s look back at a moving moment from an old interview when she talked about how much she loved performing.
Sridevi was a loving wife to filmmaker Boney Kapoor and a devoted mother to her daughters, Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor. She was the “heartbeat of Indian cinema,” and her performances kept viewers spellbound until the very end. Sridevi was asked a very important question in an old interview that has come back to light: Would she want to be an actor in her next life? She answered right away and with all her heart. “Yes, of course.” There is no change in it. “100%,” she said, making it clear how much she loved her work.
When the journalist asked Sridevi what was so great about being an actor, she was very thankful. “Is there nothing like this? I mean, in this field, you receive so much love and affection from the audience that I don’t think you get it in any other industry. “It’s really amazing,” she added, pointing out how special her connection with her fans was.
Fans have shown a lot of affection for this viral video in the comments area. One person on social media dubbed her “a once-in-a-lifetime icon and the only pan-Indian star,” while another hailed her great comic timing and remembered her role in Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja. Other comments confirmed her special status in the business. One fan said, “There was only one Sridevi and there will be only one Sridevi,” and another simply called her “The true GOAT ❤️.”
Sridevi’s legacy is based on how versatile she was, how well she could command the screen, and how much her fans loved her. It’s apparent that there will never be another star like her as we remember her today.
