Sridevi Was A Rare Actor Says Karan Johar

By News Helpline – 23rd December 2019

Filmmaker Karan Johar who was recently graced the launch of a book, ‘Sridevi - The Eternal Screen Goddess’, said that Sridevi was a rare actor.

Karan Johar launched "Sridevi - The External Screen Goodess" book written by Satyarth Nayak, in Mumbai a few days after its Delhi launch by Deepika Padukone.

‘Sridevi - The Eternal Screen Goddess’ - the book is based on the life of the Bollywood icon and the first female superstar from Indian Cinema.

Talking about Sridevi with eloquence and reverence, Karan Johar said, “Sridevi was just incredible. She had that potentiality of observing and absorbing the body languages of others. She was the only actor of 80’s and 90’s who has upped her craft through observation. She absorbed her syntax of cinema of that time”

“Even after the gap of 15 years, in 2012 when she did the movie English-Vinglish. She knew how to face the camera. I would go as far as saying that Sridevi was a genius artist, because it takes lots of genius to go through, what she did in so many films. Sridevi was a rare actor, who was top of her game in all the languages at the same time. Whether it was Tamil, Telugu or Hindi, she was on top. I must say a feat no other actor in India has achieved.”

Sridevi was found unconscious in her bathtub, in Dubai, on February 24 2018 by her husband Boney Kapoor. The death certificate said that death was caused due to accidental drowning.
