Fans Get Emotional Seeing Sridevi Again

On May 19, the evergreen star shared a throwback photo from their 2017 Diwali celebration at her Mumbai home. The picture featured Sonali Bendre, Richa Chadha, screenwriter Niranjan Iyengar, and designer Manish Malhotra, all dressed to impress in festive ethnic wear.


What truly caught everyone’s attention, though, was the presence of the late legendary actress Sridevi. Dressed in a stunning white and pink saree paired with a contrasting blue and yellow blouse, Sridevi looked radiant as ever. The group posed with warm smiles, capturing a moment that now feels even more special in retrospect.


Sharing the touching photo, Shabana wrote, “#Niranjan Iyer playing the photo bomber! At a Diwali party at Janki Kutir some years ago."

The throwback picture tugged at heartstrings on social media, sparking a wave of emotions among fans and industry friends. As soon as it was shared, the post was flooded with love, nostalgia, and heartfelt reactions.



While one fan wrote, 'Feels surreal to look at Sridevi again', another one added, 'This frame holds more star power than a Diwali sky'. A fan also commented, 'Sridevi and the great Shabana Azmi – what great talents both of them'.

Sridevi passed away on February 24, 2018, in Dubai, where she was attending a family function. The iconic actress died at the age of 54 due to accidental drowning, leaving behind a legacy that continues to be cherished by fans worldwide.
