The late Sridevi's journey from the South Indian film industry to Hindi cinema is a tale of determination, adaptability, and the creation of a true legend. Born in Tamil Nadu, Sridevi started her acting career in South Indian films at a young age. Her expressive eyes, graceful dance, and outstanding acting skills quickly brought her into the spotlight. Even as a teenager, she was a sought-after star in the South.
Sridevi made her Bollywood debut as a child artiste in the 1975 hit Julie but continued ruling the South Indian film industry where she established herself as a leading heroine with films such as 16 Vayathinile, Sigappu Rojakkal, Meendum Kokila, and Moondram Pirai.
