Bollywood’s legendary actress Sridevi is no more and it’s still hard to believe it. The actress passed away in UAE on this day last year. Sridevi, she was one of the most talented actresses of Bollywood and had worked with several A-listers and not just dominated the Hindi industry, but also the Tamil industry. She is best known for films such as ‘Nagina’, ‘Mr. India’, ‘Chandni’ and ‘Lamhe’ among others. In the year 2013, the Government of India awarded Sridevi the Padma Shri, the country’s fourth highest civilian accolade for her contributions to the entertainment industry.
As today is her first death anniversary, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma took to Twitter to pay his tribute by sharing a throwback photo of the actress with actors Nagarjuna, Chiranjeevi, and Venkatesh. Take a look:
