Sridevi's 60th Birthday: Google's Touching Tribute through Doodle

Google commemorates the legendary actress Sridevi on what would have been her 60th birthday through a special Doodle, honoring her enduring influence on Indian cinema. Born on August 13, 1963, in present-day Tamil Nadu, her cinematic journey commenced at a tender age of four, spanning across Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Bollywood industries.

Sridevi's breakthrough arrived in 1976 with K. Balachander’s "Moondru Mudichu," launching her into stardom. Her roles in hits like "Guru" and "Sankarlal" further solidified her reputation. She made an indelible mark in Telugu cinema with impactful films such as "Padaharella Vayasu," "Konda Veeti Simham," and "Vetagadu."

Her magnetic charisma caught the attention of Hindi film producers, leading to iconic films like the vivacious "Himmatwala," emotive "Sadma," and vibrant "ChaalBaz." She defied conventions by taking the lead in blockbusters, challenging the male-centric industry norms.

After a hiatus, Sridevi made a triumphant return in 2012 with "English Vinglish," cementing her status as a Bollywood leading lady. She was bestowed the prestigious Padma Shri award, and in 2017, showcased her prowess in the crime thriller "Mom," earning the National Film Award for Best Actress.

Sridevi's untimely demise in 2018 may have truncated her journey, but her lasting impact continues to inspire actors and cinephiles across generations. On her 60th birth anniversary, we honor Sridevi’s incredible legacy, recognizing her as an unparalleled trailblazer in Indian cinema.
