Sridevi's nervous ramp trip

She might come across as the picture of grace in our first picture here, but Sridevi had a tough time on the catwalk - as you'll see from the second picture. The star, who walked the ramp for Neeta Lulla as the show stopper at Lakme Fashion Week, came across as very nervous and saved herself twice from falling flat on the ramp.

The actress, who wore a silverish-grey body-fitting gown made an impressive entry on the ramp but soon her nervousness was revealed as she started struggling with the train of her dress.

But she still found the experience of walking the ramp quite pleasant. "It was great but at the same time very hard for me," she said.

Neeta was happy too and revealed: "It was fantastic that on my 25th anniversary Sridevi walked the ramp and so many people actually made it to the show."

When asked about the Sri's nervousness, Neeta said: "As far as I think, it happens some times when you walk the ramp after a long time."

Sridevi paints Late Pop Legend Michael Jackson

Sridevi, who is a big fan of Michael Jackson, recently painted the late pop legend and studded his painted glove with crystals as his glove had them in real life. Prominent galleries believe that a painting of a legend done by a celebrity is very valuable and can fetch a good price. They are also discussing plans to auction a few of her paintings to help the underprivileged." The painting is expected to be showcased at exhibitions in Dubai, Mumbai and London. The Dubai exhibition is scheduled for next month.

Sridevi spotted at Juhu

Sridevi was seen entering a Juhu Scheme building where her brother-in-law Sanjay Kapoor lives late evening on Wednesday.

She was not visiting Sanjay but consulting Dr Himanshu Mehta at his eye clinic in the same building. Boney Kapoor's biwi has an eye infection and went there straight from an ad shoot.

Who had a 'candlelight' meeting with Sridevi?

And this director is disappointed that she's become a housewife

Ram Gopal Varma says he's a huge fan of yesteryears actress Sridevi, describing her as a "goddess of beauty", vividly recalling a "candlelight" meeting with her and noting that he wrote his Telugu film 'Kshana Kshanam' as an intended love letter to her.

"Sridevi is the most beautiful and the most sexiest woman god (has) ever created. I think He creates such exquisite pieces of art like her only once in a million years," Varma posted on his blog rgvzoomin.com.

The veteran filmmaker has posted a long message on his blog talking about Sridevi. He has written that in his college days in Vijaywada (in Andhra Pradesh), "I used to stand in the line waiting to buy a ticket for the new Sridevi movie and I used to keep staring in awe at her on the hoardings in the theatre compound."

"Her beauty and her sex appeal were so strong that it took many many films and many many years for both us audience and the film industry to realise and recognise the actress in her which was first showcased according to me in the most effective way in 'Mr. India' by Shekhar Kapur...'Mr. India' made the audience discover a new Sridevi primarily because of the way how Shekar Kapur's aesthetics captured both her extraordinary beauty and her incredible performance."

Varma says in Chennai, he used to stand in front of Sridevi's house to catch a glimpse of his favourite actress. Finally, after the success of his debut film 'Shiva', he got a chance to meet the woman he used to worship.

"At around 7.30 in the night we went and as luck would have it there was a power cut in her house. So I was sitting in her living room in candlelight along with Gopal Reddy waiting for the angel to appear and my heart was thumping like mad. Her mother told us she was busy packing as she was about to catch a flight to go to Mumbai.

"Finally, she came and sat in the living room, just said a mandatory few lines... I went back to my place feeling like I was in the seventh heaven.

"The way Sridevi sat in front of me in the candlelight got imprinted in my mind like an exquisite painting and with her image completely filling both my mind and my heart I started writing 'Kshana Kshanam'. I wrote 'Kshana Kshanam' with the one and only purpose so as to impress Sridevi. It was was intended by me as a love letter to her."

Varma was disappointed when Boney Kapoor married Sridevi and brought her "straight from her super stardom and magazine covers to being just an ordinary housewife".

"I don't go to Boney's house these days because I can't bear to see Sridevi in a realistic house, in a realistic atmosphere and with realistic people around. For me, she is like a highly precious diamond which should be seen only in beautiful settings or in exotic locations and only in the surroundings of cinematic brilliance," he wrote.
