Ahmed Khan, a renowned choreographer and producer who had the privilege of sharing the screen with Sridevi and Anil Kapoor in the cult classic Mr. India, recently shared intriguing anecdotes from his time working alongside the legendary actress. He fondly recalled Sridevi's reserved nature off-camera, which transformed into the vibrant character of Seema when the cameras rolled.
Khan reminisced about witnessing Sridevi's remarkable ability to portray the enigmatic Michael Jackson, a quiet speaker with an electrifying stage presence. He admired her transformation and regarded her as extraordinary. Initially, Sridevi maintained a distance from the child actors on set, but she gradually warmed up to them.
One amusing incident etched in Khan's memory occurred during the filming of a hospital scene following a bomb blast. Amidst the somber atmosphere, Sridevi invited the children to a doctor's room and offered them ice cream. With a playful jest, she exclaimed, I'm not giving you this because I like you; you have to teach me break dancing.
This ice cream bribe marked the beginning of Sridevi's friendship with the young actors, who eagerly taught her some dance moves. Khan fondly remembered this incident as the catalyst for their bond.
Sridevi's illustrious filmography showcased her versatility as an actress. Her dramatic performances in Sadma and Lamhe left an indelible mark, particularly her portrayal of dual roles in the latter. Her comedic prowess shone in Chaalbaaz, where she entertained audiences with a hilarious double act.
Sridevi's romantic charm permeated the silver screen in Chandni, a classic love story. In English Vinglish, she made a heartwarming return to acting, adding a comedic twist to the tale. Sridevi's legacy continues to inspire aspiring actors and entertain generations of film enthusiasts.
