Sridevi - the last great Bollywood actress of yesteryear, who acted for the first time in 4 years, and since then has played a record number of roles in films in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi. Unlike many other Sridevi has not only beauty, but also an outstanding talent that has allowed it to significantly expand the role of a typical Indian actress.

She was born in 1963, and in 1967 played his first role - in the Tamil movie, filmed an episode from the Mahabharata. The topic was relevant and Sridevi for childhood repeatedly had to portray the Indian deity. This is what inspired her mother to replace this daughter's birth name Amma on Sridevi sonorous pseudonym, taken from the Hindu pantheon.

The first "adult" role she played in 11 years, and soon became a heroine South Indian cinema. Her partners were such famous actors like Kamal Haasan and Rajnikant. But the success of the regional film industry was not enough, and decided to conquer Sridevi Bollywood. The first movie - "Julia" and Solva Sawan failed, but the next - Himmatwala became a huge hit. Dance ability and stunning figure brought Sridevi nickname "loud hip." Jitendra duet with her partner in the film, like the audience, and then they shot together frequently.

Filmmakers exploited in full beauty and sensuality of the actress, but her filmography as there are a lot of pictures, where it showed its serious dramatic talent. Such, for example, the film "Sad Story" (1983) with Kamal Hassan where Sridevi with stunning authenticity played a girl who lost her memory and behaving like a child of six. He brought Sridevi first nomination for Filmfare Award for the film in Hindi. Prior to that, repeatedly nominated and even won the prestigious prize for their South Indian work.

Sridevi gradually gaining ground most popular actresses of Bollywood .  Perhaps its only serious rival was the actress Jaya Prada, also came out of the cinema in South India, it is also beautiful and gorgeous dancer .  Actresses were in the Cold War, and even filming together, talked only on the set .  But if Jay's career proceeded quite calmly, then Sridevi hits out almost every Friday .  "Magic diamond", "Karma", "Mr India" brought the love of the audience and the respect of critics .  Sridevi star shone brighter, and Jaya Prada went on the back burner .  It has remained virtually unnoticed in the Russian audience favorite film "Mother baby", but the role of the unfortunate mother Sridevi again aroused the applause of enthusiastic fans .  And when the actress was almost three consecutive Filmfare Award for Best Actress in the film "cheat", "Moments" and Kshana Kshanam Telugu, its status Queen of Bollywood could be considered indisputable .  "Moments", a scandalous film about the love of a man for a woman, and then to her daughter, for obvious reasons, was not up to the end evaluated in India, but it was a huge success abroad, and even the great Steven Spielberg offered Sridevi role in his "Jurassic Park " .  However, the actress did not dare to risk a career for the sake of dubious Indian American success .

Often playing traditional Indian ladies in life Sridevi not so cherished customs. She was not afraid to have an affair with a married Mithun Chakraborty. Now the story has acquired a variety of rumors, both the actor denies it, but one of the versions of events unfolded as follows: Mithun has never been the epitome of a true husband around him constantly spinning gossip about the relationship with their partners, but Sridevi first aroused in him really serious sense. The actress demanded that he quit his legitimate companion Yogitu and married her. And Mithun really married, though not a divorce with his first wife. Bigamist, he managed to stay only a few months when Sridevi learned that Mithun had deceived her, the marriage was annulled.

In 90 career Sridevi began to decline. She had no luck with the films, and the horizon of Bollywood meanwhile, ignited a new star - Madhuri Dixit, Sridevi is not inferior in talent and beauty. For a while they were shining together, but gradually eclipsed the former hits Madhuri success Sridevi, and thirty-year-actress was almost irrelevant.

It's time to think about the family hearth. In 1996, Sridevi married producer Boney Kapoor's brother Anil its stellar partner. Her new chosen one was married again and married her again without obtaining a divorce from his wife. This did not prevent Sridevi give him two daughters. In 2005 his wife Mona finally gave way to persuasion Boni, and they are officially divorced.

Sridevi now lives away from the actor's career. She regularly participates in public events, it helps her husband in the movie business. And though there are regular reports that Sridevi will play a role in any project with the film fans expect disappointment: she did not return.
