Sridevi started her film career in Hindi cinema as a child arstist in Julie. As an actress her first film was Solwa Savan which was released in 1979. Solwa Savan turned out to be a complete flop and almost ended her career. Lady luck eventually shined on Sridevi when Himmatwala was released in 1983. She gave fabulous dance performances in Himmatwala, Thofa, and mawali with Jitendra. The song sequences and movies turned out to be major successes and Sridevi soon became number one indian actress. Himmatwala turned out to be a super duper hit and established Sridevi as a super star. She quickly rose to the top spot toppling Rekha and Hema Malini. Her gyrating dances in scanty clothes earned her the nickname of Miss Thunder Thighs. She retained that position for a long time until Madhuri Dixit snatched it from her.

The living legend, Sridevi. She started doing movies in the age of three and acted and/or starred in 227 movies altogether (till Oct. 1996). Of those 72 made in the language Telugu, 50 in Tamil, 24 in Malayalam and a whole lot more (about 81) in Hindi.You will find her portfolio, her exclusive photographs, wallpapers, close-ups and snaps of the unforgettable moments of her successful films career. Her Super hit films are Mr. India, Sadma, Chaalbzaz, Nagina, Nigaahen, Candni, Gumrah, Judai.

Her father died while she was filming Lamhe, her mother while she was making Judaai. Although it is the Hindu custom that the eldest son lights the funeral pyre, Sridevi lit the pyre for her mother's last rites. Template:Date=February 2007

Numerous sources claim that Sridevi had a relationship with actor Mithun Chakraborty from 1986 to 1987, and ended the relationship when she found out that he had not divorced his first wife, Yogita Bali.

Sridevi married film producer Boney Kapoor on June 2, 1996. Through her husband she is related to the large Surinder Kapoor film clan. Actor Anil Kapoor, her co-star in many films, is her brother-in-law.

Sridevi is on the Board of Director at the Asian Academy of film and television.
