It’s the reigning queen of the Indian film industry, late Sridevi’s 58th Birth anniversary today. She started her acting career as a child actor in Tamil cinema, merely at the tender age of 4 years. Later on, she went on to become a rising star and seemingly paired up with the biggest names in Tamil Cinema. Her work then extended to the likes of Telugu and Kannada films as well. And then Bollywood came calling.
Sridevi’s sudden and untimely death has left the nation devastated back in 2018. Initially, the reason for her death was mistaken as cardiac arrest. However, Sridevi has been declared as “accidentally drowned” in a bathtub due to unconsciousness.
It’s been three years and five months since Sridevi left us for heavenly abode, but fans still miss her dearly. She was easily one of the best actresses India has ever produced. The late actress had also received a plethora of awards and accolades for her unparalleled acting performances. She was indeed a legend in her own right.
