At birth in August 1963, Sridevi was given the name Shri Amma Younger Ayapan, by nationality she is Tamil. The mother-at-home and the father-lawyer did not miss the first manifestations of acting talent in their pretty daughter as a doll. In addition, the girl learned very quickly: in addition to her native Tamil, she soon spoke in Hindi, Telugu and Malay, and got the opportunity to act not only in Bollywood, which presents films in Hindi, but also in many other Indian films of the studio.
Her partners were Rami Rao, Anil Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Mithun Chakraborty. Sridevi got roles in such successful films as “Karma”, “Retribution”, “Mr. India”, “Moments of Love”. For filming in the movie “Chandu the Thief”, which is still an absolute hit among the fans of Indian cinema, the actress won several prestigious awards.
Huge eyes, plump lips, a perfectly straight nose… Evil tongues claimed that a plastic surgeon worked on the beauty’s nose, but Sridevi’s representatives denied any intervention. Wearing traditional outfits and opting for classic jewelry, she remained the true ideal of a Bollywood beauty.

Even in Sridevi’s personal life, everything turned out perfectly – or so it seemed from the outside. Married to producer Boney Kapoor, she gave birth to two daughters. In order to devote herself to her family, Sridevi even took a creative break: she did not shoot for 15 years from 1997! But this did not affect her popularity at all.

In 2015, the leading beauty of Bollywood appeared in the lead role in her last film – it was called “Mom” and became her three hundredth film work. Before and after, Sridevi was involved in the production and admitted that she would like to work on the other side of the camera and make films rather than act in them.
However, her plans were thwarted by a terrible incident. In 2018, Sridevi traveled to Dubai for her beloved nephew’s wedding. After the celebration, the actress decided to stay a few more days in the Emirates for shopping and suddenly drowned in the bathtub in her own room. The examination showed that there was alcohol in the star’s blood, and this information was a shock to relatives and fans – cultural and moral principles did not allow the actress to drink alcohol.
The investigation did not reach clear conclusions and was renewed several times. Sridevi’s relatives still do not believe in the accident. And there was even a version in the press that her husband settled the score with the actress. After all, he behaved suspiciously: he did not come to the wedding with her, although the couple always traveled together, but just before the tragic incident he unexpectedly appeared in Dubai. Kapoor was the man who found his wife’s lifeless body – while she was unhappily taking a bath, he was watching cricket on TV, lost track of time and heard nothing.
The investigation rejected the version of violent death and officially Boni was not charged. The investigation is ongoing, but no new data has appeared in it for a very long time. It is unlikely that this secret will ever be revealed.
