Google honours late Bollywood actress Sridevi's 60th birthday with a special doodle commemorating her famous career...
Digital Desk: Sridevi, who we all remember as an iconic figure, began acting at the age of four, in a Tamil film called Kandhan Karunai in 1967. She began her career in an array of genres, including Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam films. She reigned the Bollywood industry in its prime, too, with her mesmerising aura; watching her was awe-inspiring.
"After the film's success, she and her co-stars became even more famous with a string of hit films like Guru and Sankarlal," Google Doodle noted in its description. Sridevi was widely regarded as the star of Tamil cinema at the time, and her on-screen appeal drew interest from filmmakers in the Hindi-speaking film business as well."
She rose to national prominence in 1976 as the protagonist in K. Balachander's Moondru Mudichu. Later the same year, after starring in the action comedy Himmatwala, Sridevi firmly established herself as a national icon and box-office star in Bollywood.
Sadma, ChaalBaz, Mr India, Nagina, Chandni, Lamhe, and many other films were extremely successful for her. "She remains one of the only Bollywood actresses to headline blockbuster films without a male actor in an industry that was traditionally male-dominated," Google stated.
Sridevi took a sabbatical from acting in the early 2000s before making a stunning comeback with the 2012 film English Vinglish. She also appeared in television shows such as Malini Iyer and Kaboom in 2004.
The Indian government also bestowed the Padma Shri award on her in 2013. Later the same year, her performance in the crime thriller 'Mom,' about a rage-filled and protective mother, garnered her the National Film Award for best actress.
"Sridevi forever made her mark on the film industry by charting new avenues for women to take on leading roles in Indian cinema," according to Google. She will be remembered as one of the most talented Indian actors of her generation.
Reportedly the Dubai government stated, the legendary actor died of accidental drowning in her hotel bathtub after losing consciousness in 2018. Her untimely death shocked her fans and industry colleagues. The Bollywood star was cremated with full state honours on February 28.
