She went on to achieve success post her impeccable acting chops in films like 'Chandni', 'Nagina' and was critically acclaimed for 'Sadma' co-starring Kamal Haasan. While Sridevi made a comeback with yet another critically acclaimed film 'Mom' in 2017, her journey was cut short by an untimely demise.

The evergreen divas

It is said that when Sridevi first came to Bollywood, it was Rekha who took her under her wings and mentored her. When Rekha herself came to Mumbai, she didn't know the language or the people. Over a period of time, the duo became thick of friends and continued to support each other's works. Recently Rekha was seen extending her support to Sridevi's latest film 'Mom'.

Love at first sight

Sridevi and Boney Kapoor enjoyed marital bliss for over two decades. Boney was then married to Mona Shourie Kapoor and a father of two children - Arjun and Anshula, when he fell head over heels in love with Sridevi. The two got together and became one of Bollywood's most inspirational couples with two lovely daughters Janhvi and Khushi.

Timeless bond

Yash Chopra made Sridevi the 'Chandni' and the symbol of beauty in Bollywood. Sridevi ruled millions of hearts with her 1989 blockbuster 'Chandni' and left them equally surprised with her 'Lamhe' act. Yash Chopra portrayed the best of Sridevi’s talent in her award-winning films and established her as the top actress of the '80s. Here's a throwback picture of the duo prepping up for a scene with the legendary Waheeda Rehman in the frame.
