While the demise of Sridevi creates a void that can’t be filled anytime soon, all we can do is to celebate her eventful life and the legacy that she has left behind.

Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor, who has worked with Sridevi in some very successful films, was at a national TV channel in the evening and reminisced some of the memories. One such made us laugh quite a bit! (Also Read: Sridevi’s accidental drowning theory difficult to believe, says Saroj Khan)

“Once we were acting in a love sequence. the lights were off and all were silent. Suddenly, the cinematographer said ‘cut cut’. we asked ‘why?’ They said film (film roll used in old cameras) was over. Repacking a film reel in camera took around 2-3 minutes then. I was standing in proximity to her. There was this awkward silence and I didn’t know what to say. she suddenly said, ‘sir I have watched Khel Khel Mein four timse. I said ‘wow very nice. you dance really well.’ She said, ‘thanks.’ Then the shot was ready and I was like, thank god we don’t have to make any more conversations,” he chuckled.

Hahaha…those two minutes of awkwardness must be making him smile today!
