India’s legendary star, Sridevi, renowned for her unmatched contributions to Indian cinema, would have turned 60 today. Even after her passing in 2021, her captivating presence continues to resonate among countless fans. On her birth anniversary, her family took to social media to fondly reminisce about her enduring charm and talent.
Husband Boney Kapoor shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, posting a cherished throwback photo of himself with Sridevi, captioned simply as “Happy Birthday.” Their younger daughter, Khushi Kapoor, joined in by sharing another endearing throwback photo that captured a moment of pure love. In the photo, Sridevi dons an exquisite blue saree, while Khushi and her sister Janhvi Kapoor radiate innocence in pink dresses. Khushi’s caption, “Happy Birthday Mama,” accompanied by a white heart emoji, encapsulates the profound bond they shared. Janhvi Kapoor, an accomplished actress herself, echoed the sentiment by reposting her father’s touching tribute on her Instagram story.
The enduring impact of Sridevi’s absence on her daughters, particularly Janhvi, has been openly discussed. During the promotion of her film “Bawaal,” Janhvi reflected on the greatest challenge in her life, stating, “I think the greatest challenge was definitely when I lost mom. Dealing with her loss while shooting for ‘Dhadak’ was immensely tough. Balancing the weight of grief and the demands of work was a battle, one that defined my journey.”
Google too paid homage to the cinematic marvel by dedicating its latest doodle to Sridevi. The doodle, illustrated by Mumbai-based guest artist Bhumika Mukherjee, captures her in the iconic blue saree from “Mr. India,” immortalizing the iconic “Mere Haathon mein…” pose from “Chandni.” A nod to her performance in “Naagin” is also present, with two hands adorned with lightning emojis. Google’s tribute celebrated Sridevi’s unparalleled success and her role in reshaping Indian cinema by shattering gender norms. The description aptly acknowledges, “Starring in nearly three hundred movies over four decades, Sridevi made Bollywood’s sweeping dramas and comedies shine, oftentimes without a male counterpart in the traditionally male-dominated industry.”
As fans worldwide celebrate the 60th birth anniversary of this cinematic trailblazer, Sridevi’s luminous talent and groundbreaking spirit continue to inspire generations, leaving an eternal mark on the silver screen and in the hearts of millions.
