• Sridevi has lot of class, even today she has maintained herself well. (www.naradonline.com).

Aishwarya Rai (Actress)

• Sridevi, I'm a die-hard fan of hers. I remember watching her super hit films Himmatwala and Tohfa when I was a cook in Bangkok. Even in my wildest dreams I couldn't have imagined that I'd be her hero one day. I was on cloud nine when Pankaj Parashar cast me opposite her in Meri Biwi Ka Jawab Nahin. But though the film is 90% complete it's been languishing in the cans for over three years. Sad. (Filmfare, Oct, 1999).

Akshay Kumar
(Actor)

Amitabh Bachchan (Actor)

• I would love to do the role like the one Sridevi did in 'Chaalbaaz' (The Times of India, Sept, 2004).

• as a kid, I wanted to be like Madonna, Sridevi and Madhuri. (Filmfare,March,2005).

Amrita Arora
(Actress)

• My relationship with Sri is like it has always been, cordial and polite. I think Judaai was the right film for Sri to say goodbye. But I wish she'd return to act in more meaningful films. Im sure shell be back. (Filmfare, Sept, 1997).

• I could never imagined Sridevi as my bhabhi. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to do a single romantic scene with her. (Filmfare, Nov, 1998).

• Sridevi is India's Charlie Chaplin.

• I miss Madhuri. She had a lot of qualities. Both Sridevi and Madhuri were superb. I don't miss Sri because she's family. (Filmfare, May,2002).

• Malini Iyer will rock this country. (The Times of India, Jan, 2004).
   

• So who's his favorite heroine? "From Rani to Sameera Reddy to Kajol, Aishwarya, all new heroines are very professional. But it was Sridevi who simply lit up the screen with her presence."  So would Anil consider working opposite his real life bhabhi ? "Why not, if Sridevi's okay with it. One has to admit that our pairing was excellent together." (The Times of India, Dec, 2004).

Anil Kapoor
(Actor)

• My favorite actress is Sridevi.

Anupam Kher
(Actor)

• Sridevi has a wonderful sense of comedy. Has she really left films? (Filmfare, Feb, 1998).

Aparna Sen
(Direcctor)

• In case of Sridevi, people know her as the bubbly, mischievous actress, which she actually plays in this serial "Malini Iyer". At the same time, we have all missed her for a very long time so the hiatus and curiosity will be the add-ons. (The Times of India, Jan, 2004).

Asha Parekh (Actress)

• There is a great respect for South Indian artistes in Mumbai. Vyjayanthimala, Hemamalini and Sridevi were respected a lot. I want to emulate them. I should do a movie like 'Moondram Pirai' in my career. (IndiaGlitz.com, Nov, 2007).

Asin
 (Actress)

• She's still the best. Flops can'r take away any artiste's talent. Like the calibre of Dilip Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan can never be in doubt even though some of their films may not have been box-office successes. Today, we remember Madhubala and Meena Kumari with great affection. Twenty to 30 years from now, the new generation will hold Sridevi in high regard as well. She's a professional who takes care of details - like her make-up and costumes. She can be fanatically dedicated. I remember we were shooting the rain-dance, Kaate Nahin Katte for Mr.India. She had high temperature but refused to call off shooting that day. (Filmfare, April, 1994)
   

Baba Azmi
(Cinematographer)

• I've enjoyed working with Sridevi. It's been a delight to work on her face. (Filmfare, Feb, 2000).

Bharat Godambe
(Make-up Artiste)

• She may be going through a bad phase but her market position is still strong. If she has had a row of flops, it's because she chose some wrong films and was paired against wrong heroes like Salman Khan in Chandramukhi.
  If you ask me, Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla are in the same slot today. If some people are saying that there have been too many films of Sridevi, then that's true of the other two actresses aswell. There is little doubt that Sridevi is a marvelous actress; if she gets the right director, story and of course, a hero who doesn't look awkward with her, then she will certainly outclass the competition.  (Filmfare, April, 1994)
   

Bharat Shah
(Distributor)

• Sridevi, irrespective of the banner, drew in the crowds-a film like Gair Kanooni, opposite Govinda, had the crowds whistling to her performance and gyrations.  What is creditable is that when Sridevi came into her own, Bollywood had completely reduced heroines to dancing and titillating props. Yet, she brought the heroine wave back with power-packed performance in films like Sadma, Mr India, Chaalbaaz, Chandni and Lamhe. No male star could eclipse her, not even Amitabh Bachchan in Inquilaab and Khuda Gawah. Her star power was the kind one saw only during the Meena Kumari, Hema Malini and Vyjanthimala phase, where the heroine not only played the protagonist but also drew in the crowds. Sridevi rewrote the market price for heroines in Bollywood and became the first Hindi film heroine to get Rs 1 crore per film. (The Economic Times, Nov, 2006)

Bharti Dubey
(Film Critic, Journalist)

• Sridevi's presence is electrifying. She is absolutely magnificent. I was in awe for her, which is why I fell in love with her. There is nobody better than Sridevi for sure. (Filmfare, Jan, 2000).

• Of course Anil has to be part of Mr. India 2. I can't see Mr. India without Anil, and as far as Sridevi is concerned, things need to be worked out. We could only decide once the script is entirely ready. (The Times of India,Oct, 2005).

• It’s definite that Sridevi will return this year. We’ve short listed a number of interesting scripts and hope to finalize one by the end of this month. (Kolkata News, Jan, 2007).
   
• Trust me, I'm as anxious about Sri's comeback as all her fans. Why wouldn't I want to utilise such talent and beauty from my own home? But we can't put her in any project. The script has to justify Sri's presence. And we're working on it. (NDTVmovies.com, December,2007).

Boney Kapoor
(Producer)

• When I saw Sridevi she was the number one actress In India at that time. Honestly she looked quite plain to me. She reminded me of an Italian pop singer. It struck me that this chubby girl would not even get a job as an extra in Hollywood, but never mind, I'm sure many Italian stars wouldn't make it in India either, neither as actresses, nor as extras. (Zee Premier, Dec, 1999).

• Sridevi is one actor who has inspired me time and again. That’s the reason I have tried to emulate her in No Entry. Her style of acting has always fascinated me. She is someone who could look stunning in Indian as well as Western outfits. In fact, I wouldn’t even mind working in something like ‘Return of the Nagin’. Sridevi is someone who I wouldn’t feel shy to emulate. (DNAIndia.com. Dec, 2007).

Celina Jaitley
(Actress)

• I just love Sridevi. I think if she hadn't married Boney, I would've definitely tried for her. Seriously, I hate Boney and I meant it. Sri is the only strong crush I've ever had. I would spend all my money, whatever I earned on impressing he, I used to wear new clothes everyday when she was shooting with us, in the fervent hope that she would look at me. (Stardust, Aug, 1998).

Geeta Basra
(Actress)

• I will tell you about this incident with Sridevi, I went for this show with her about seven - eight years back when her Nagina had just released. At the show, I took away all the applause. Around one in the night, Srideviji called me and asked: "Govindaji can you come for a rehearsal?" I went across to meet her and the entire family was awake. She asked me, "How do you remember the steps of my dances?" I told her that I was great fan of hers and used to copy her and Jeetubahi on stage. That's how I remembered all her steps. She then learnt the steps from me until three o'clock in the night. At the next day's show, she overshadowed me completely. This kind of dedication, sincerity and honesty to win is required. How can someone like that be anything but No.1?.(Stardust, May, 1999).

Govinda
(Actor)

Javed Jaffri
(Actor, VJ)

Jaya Bachchan
(Actress)

• With Sridevi  there was no jealously. All our films were done in a professional manner. (The Hindu, August, 2007).

Jaya Prada
(Actress)

•  I have done 15 films with Sri. Her sincerity and her inborn gift for acting brought her forward. She has carried herself very well and to this day, one cannot guess how old she is though she has been playing the heroine for the last 12 years. It could be a case of overexposure but somehow she has changed her look and dress-sense to keep pace with the times. Her films like Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja and Chandramukhi may have come if for a lot of criticism but no one had a bad word to say about Sri's performances. (Filmfare, April, 1994)
   

• Lots of people tell me that Sridevi and I looked good on screen. She is an amazing dancer and an astounding actress. I've lost count on the number of films that we did together. Sri is a professional when it comes to work and that's the reason she survived for so many years. She broke the myth that a Hindi film actress has a short career. (Zee Premier, Dec, 2000).

Jeetendra
(Actor)

• On screen I love Sridevi's style of dressing. (Movie, Oct, 1997).

Juhi Chawla
(Actress, Producer)

• My Favorite actress. I think Sridevi. I would have to say. She is my favorite. I love her. I told her one day I met her you should really open up a school. Because its amazing she knows... I mean if you watch her she knows everything about her job . Its not only about standing in front of the camera. She knows how she should hold her body, how to cut her weight, how she should stand, face, speak, light... She knows how to light her face. Most actors do not pay attention to these details. (Conversation with Aamir Khan).

Kamna Jethmalani (Actress)

• Madhuri Dixit gave her first hit after nine years. Sridevi never had a historical hit. And yet they were the top actresses because they were immensely talented. The same goes for me too. (Filmfare, Mar. 2002) .

• Whenever my mom and dad weren't in the house I would sing and dance like Sridevi. I was completely mad about her. I would show my theatrics - hand gestures and facial expressions - before the mirror. I am extremely happy to be associated with Sridevi in "Khushi" and her husband, Boney, who is like family. I never felt for a second that I was working with a strict unit. (The Hindu, Dec, 2002).

• Who is your role model? "Undoubtedly, Sridevi as she had immense screen presence. How do you explain the fact that Sridevi was a bigger draw than Madhuri Dixit, though she did not have as many hits? (The Hindu, Dec, 2004).

• I like wearing saris. They can be really glamorous. Look how sensuous Sridevi looked in a sari in 'Chandni' and 'Mr. India' (Glamsham.com).

• I believe in the strategy of Sridevi, Madhuri and Karisma Kapoor. And banking on one or two films in a year is not what I want to do.

Kareena Kapoor
(Actress)

• I've always dreamt that one day film-makers would be writing roles for me like they did for Rekha and Sridevi. (Filmfare,March,2001).

Lata Mangeshkar (Playback Singer)

• In the 80s, it was Sridevi, she was charming, bubbly and especially good with her comic timing. Mr. India, Sadma and Lamhe show her off to the best advantage. (Filmfare, Feb, 1998).

M.F.Hussain
(Painter, Director)

•  I hope im not sounding presumptuous or vain. but I think like Sridevi, I was another heroine who could break the barriers between the classes and the masses. (Filmfare, July, 1997).

• Of course, an actress can put her career on hold for the man she loves. If Sridevi can do it, why cant I? (Filmfare, Feb, 1998).

Madhuri Dixit
(Actress)

• I don't hold anything against Sridevi. I've met her and the baby, thankfully she is exactly like Sri. (Stardust, July)

• Sridevi symbolizes femininity and sensuality of the typical Indian woman. I couldn't have found a better reference point for my collection. (The Hindu, Nov, 2005)

Maheep Kapoor
(Actress)

• I have been a fan of Sridevi and playing her husband was a big feather in my cap. Initially I thought she would have Bollywood star tantrums and attitude but she is nothing of that sort. She is extremely mischievous and the soul of our serial.(The Times of India, Jan, 2004).

• “Malini Iyer’ is very close to me as it is something that I have always wanted to do. My criteria while selecting a role is to identify a perfect story line. I did not make an exception for “Malini Iyer”. I knew the star of the serial will be Sridevi but when the producer offered me this interesting role, I accepted it. (Chandigarh India, March, 2004).

Mahesh Thakur (Actor)

• Sridevi, but more than envy I admire her. Wow what a woman. She's had a wonderful span. A great actress. I mean even in her last movie Judaai she was amazing. (Stardust, March, 1998).

Mahima Chaudhury (Actress)

• Sridevi was mind-blowing in Chandni & Lamhe, in my opinion neither Madhuri nor Karisma in Dil To Pagal Hai could have matched up to Sridevi's performances in those two films. I want to reach the hieghts that Sridevi did with Yash Chopra whenever I get a chance to work with him. (Filmfare, Jan, 1998).

Manisha Koirala
(Actress)

• I've enjoyed making clothes for Mumtaz, Jaya Bachchan, Sharmila Tagore, Waheedaji, Rekha and Sridevi. (Filmfare,2002).

• Sridevi was a queen. I loved her. Many things she taught me about costume designing. She was such a diva. After designing for her, working for others is a cakewalk.
   

• Sridevi is my favourite actress in terms of dressing sense. I started my work with her, learnt so much from her. Apart from being one of the finest actresses, I think she has a lot of knowledge about costumes.
   

• I’ve enjoyed dressing her up the most. Sridevi may not have been the trendiest of actresses, but when it came to choosing clothes for herself, she knows exactly which colour or cut suits her best. (The Times of India, March, 2003).

Manish Malhotra (Designer)

• I’ve have loved Sridevi's performances over the years and would like to be known as a versatile actress just like her. (The Times of India,Oct, 2003)

Mehek Chahal (Actress)

• Videocon has had a long association with movie stars. Sridevi was one of the major actresses, who modelled the PIP for us in 1989. She did an excellent job and in my view, the biggest breakthrough for Videocon came after that ad. (Cine Blitz, July, 1999).

• If Aishwarya Rai charges 2 crore for a film with say, Shah Rukh Khan, in all likelihood, he will earn five to six times more than her. Dream Girl Hema Malini and Sridevi were the only two actresses who were able break this stereotype. Hema Malini charged a sum of Rs 14 lakh in her prime, at a time when the top billed superstar Rajesh Khanna was charging a similar fees. Sridevi on the other hand charged a whopping Rs 40 lakh when Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Sunny Deol and other top billed actors of that time were charging Rs 30 to 40 lakh. (ScreenIndia.com, Nov, 2007).

• In Bollywood, I am only fond of Sridevi. I'd have loved to play Sridevi's character in Lamhe or Chaalbaz.

• I'm a film freak. I'm always watching movies on my DVD player, especially Sridevi's. I think she is a marvellous actress. I would love to play the character which she played in Chaalbaaz and Khuda Gawah.  (The Times of India, April, 2006).

Rakhi Sawant (Actress)

• During my days as an engineering college student, I used to be a big fan of Sridevi's. I used to watch all her films on the first day, first show and had stuck her posters all over the walls of my room. And I had friends who were even more obsessed than I was. There was a guy who I remember used to actually talk to her posters. In those days we used to even have heated arguments about the kind of person that Sridevi really was. we would hate to read gossip columns because we had formed a picture - perfect image of her's in our minds and didn't like to read anything that went contrary to it. Mast is about the whole star-fan syndrome, inspired by my youthful obsession with Sridevi. (Zee Premier, Oct, 1999).

Rani Mukherjee
(Actress)

Raveena Tandon
(Actress)

• I saw her for the first time in Chennai. She was shooting at the AVM studio for a Malayalam film with Kamal Hassan. She had a unique expression on her face. Much later I saw her in Sadma. Her performance in the film was brilliant. I think it's her best to date. It is remarkable how well she has groomed herself. In the early stages she used to be somewhat clumsy even though her talent was never in doubt. But she was always a quick learner with an amazing grasping power. She picks up things in no time, be it make up technique, dress sense or voice modulation. She's a truly self made woman. She is my uncrowned queen. Sri is one actress who looks good in any outfit, western or Indian. I remember she was very unsure of herself in the early stages. In spite of that to have achieved what she has is indeed remarkable. I feel she should come back to films. Legions of her fans will be thrilled if she did. (Zee Premier, Jan, 2000).

Rekha

Sajid Khan
(Director)

• I’ve always been a die-hard fan of Yashji and Sridevi. It would be wonderful if a role that resembles the one played by Sridevi in Sadma, is directed by Yashji. (The Times of India, June, 2003).

Sangeeta Ghosh (Actress)

• I love Sridevi because she was one actress who could overshadow her heroes on the screen. If I can achieve even 10 per cent of what Sridevi achieved, I will be happy. (Entertainment, April, 2004).

Sanjay Kapoor
(Actor)

• Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit are also my favourites. I think Sridevi's dances in Chalbaaz and Madhuri teaming up with my favourite dancer Birju Maharaj for 'Kahe chede mohe' in my Devdas are among my golden moments as a dance aficionado. (The Times of India, Sept, 2006).

Sanjay Leela Bhasali (Director)

• I've made Sridevi look sensuous in a six yard saari. I don't think I made her drop her Pallu in that song I love you in Mr India, but she still looked sexy. (Movie, Oct, 1997).

• I remember even dancers like Vyjyantimala and Waheeda Rehmaan used to closely pay attention to what their choreographers used to teach them! The urge to learn is not seen today. No one can be compared to the likes of Madhuri and Sridevi when it comes to dancing to date. (IndiaTimes Movies, Nov, 2007)
   

• Madhuri dances with anyone, she’s been a neutral person from the start. Now Sridevi was different. She used to fight for my dates.  (IndiaTimes Movies, Nov, 2007)

• Sridevi was chosen for the show Mrs Malini Iyer because she had delivered some great performances in comedy roles. She had exactly fitted into the character in this serial. (December,2004).

• I adore Sridevi, But I will not see her having a huge pimpile on her nose. Youre robbing my fantasy then. (Filmfare, Jan, 2000).

• I've worked with Sridevi for ten days and I know how wonderful it was. I think more than directors, one should work with these actors to know how bad you are.

• I feel those who can't do comedy can't act. My favorite comic actors are Peter Sellers, Juhi Chawla and Sridevi. (CNN, April, 2007).

Shah Rukh Khan
(Actor, Producer)

• Sridevi was superb while playing the twin sisters, Anju and Manjuin Chaalbaaz. I like her as Chandni in ‘Chandni’ also, but in ‘Chaalbaaz’, she had a double-dynamic to a role. I doubt if any of our existing actresses would be able to pull off such a class act. (The Tribune).

Shilpa Shetty
(Actress)

• Sridevi is a legend. She is like my second mom. She did films like Sadma and Chalbaaz at the same time. That shows the kind of variety she offers. She balanced her career with commercial and critically acclaimed films. She is my god! (Idlebrain.com, October,2007)
   

• Sridevi is amazing. The on-screen chemistry between her and my father is amazing. She is my second mom--an amazing person (Indiainteracts.com, October, 2007).

Sonam Kapoor
(Actress)

• Let me make a candid confession. I’ve always been more of a Sri-bhakt than a Mads man. At the peak of their respective careers when they were pitched against each other, Sridevi always had an edge. She was what I’d call a complete star-actress who left us with the most stunning hurrah in Judaai . A terrible film that I’ve watched countless times to see her play the money-minded harridan who ‘sells’ her husband to Urmila Matondkar. Who but Sridevi could carry of such an outrageous role with such enthusiastic élan?!
  
  I remember sitting with Yash Chopra in his bungalow after Judaai was released. Sridevi was in hospital having just delivered her first-born. I remember Mr Chopra urging Sri to come put of marital retirement. “I’ll personally design a whole film for you. Just come back.” I overheard him say.  (The Times of India, December, 2007)
   

• The clash of the 'traditional' and the 'modern' was gloriously resplendent in K. Vishwanath's Jaag Utha Insaan where that other screen queen Sridevi danced her way into the temple-portals without looking like anything but a certifiable screen goddess. (IndiaFM.com, Dec,2007)
   

Subhash K Jha
(Flim Critic)

• Sridevi will remain superstar long after the present lot of heroines disappear. (Filmfare, Aug, 1998).

Sushmita Sen
(Actress)

• In my adolescent brain only that registered— Sridevi-Mr India. I loved her in it. (The Sunday Tribune, Oct, 2003).

Tanisha Mukherjee (Actress)

• When I was growing up there was a phase when Rekha did most of the movies with my dad. You know, the typical family dramas. She was the wife, and my father, the husband. I used to be quite happy to watch her with my dad in all his films, like quite the done thing, like a daily thaali. Then when I saw Himmatwala, with dad and Sridevi, I was like, 'Who is she? We don't want her to be playing my dad's wife, she's so... eeeee!' I was a die-hard Rekha loyalist; in fact, it was my sister who was a big Sridevi fan. From day one, she was like, 'Sridevi is my kind of idol.'

• In Judaai, Sridevi treated me like any senior professional treats a junior professional and we discussed the weather. She was sweet . (Filmfare, May, 1997).

•  Sridevi is a heroine who wasnt born with a silver spoon, and she made it in an industry where it is very difficult to come up. She is the last big heroine we have, and she sustained her position for quite some time. I think of her only as the Sridevi who started with Julie and who's come a long way. (Stardust, April, 1997).

• I thoroughly enjoyed the scenes that I did with Sridevi in Judaai. She is such a complete actress & I learned so much from her…Actually, I am an admirer of Sridevi & her work.

• Sridevi has been in the industry since her childhood and still works hard. I think that she is the most dedicated and professional actresses of all. and a lot of people should look up to her. (Cine Blitz, June, 1996).

• I don't think glamour is about taking off clothes. If it was Madhubala, Rekha or Sridevi wouldn't have been glamorous. Rekha in all her finery and jewellery is so glamorous! (SantaBanta.com, Oct, 2007).
   

Vidya Balan
(Actress)

• She is one of the finest actresses, a tremendous dancer and a pucca professional. I had tried to present her differently in Chandni - in white and with very little jewellery. Even in Lamhe, she was so striking in the double role of a woman from a Rajashani backdrop and her boisterous daughter. I am asked why I cast Juhi instead of Sri in Darr. That's because the role wouldn't have suited Sri - the girl had to look frightened and weak. Darr was a hero-oriented subject. I'm told that I have given Juhi the Sridevi look. I don't quite agree. I gave Juhi the Chandni look, the look of a North Indian girl. Will I work with Sridevi in the future? I admire her... so why shouldn't!? But where will I find a suitable subject for her? (Filmfare, April, 1994)
   

• Sridevi can only move up. She has gone beyond the number game. She has achieved what only a few can.
