Sri Devi was one of the iconic actresses in the industry. The untimely death of such a legendary actress left the nation shocked. Her family is still to digest the fact that she is no more. Though she is not physically present, Sri Devi will remain alive in the hearts of her millions of fans. Today is the 55th birth anniversary of the veteran actress and she is not there to celebrate it which has been devastating for the fans as well as her family.
Debuted into the industry as a child artist and soon turned into a heroine, Sri Devi ruled the industry for so many years. She shared the screen space with every one of the yesteryear star heroes. Even in her second innings, her movies like 'English Vinglish' created sensations at the box office. In 2014, the government of India presented her the fourth highest civilian award, Padma Shri for her contribution to the Film Industry.
On the occasion of her birthday, Ministry of Information is organizing a two-day retrospective of her films Mom, Lamhe, Mr. India, English Vinglish, Sadma and Chandini on August 13th and 14th at Film Division Auditorium in New Delhi.
