Farhan Akhtar Recalls “Sridevi Magic” From His First Job In Lamhe

Sridevi’s sudden death due to cardiac arrest last night in Dubai has left not only Bollywood celebs in a state of shock, even her fans are finding the news hard to believe.

 A while ago, even Farhan Akhtar, paid tribute to the legendary actress. He took to Instagram and wrote, “My first job in 1990 was on ‘Lamhe’ and this song ‘Megha re Megha’ was the very first time I saw this legendary actor create her incredible magic on screen. From Sadma to Chalbaaz, from Mr. India to Chandni, it was impossible to take your eyes off her when she appeared on screen. A true star. A gifted actor. A woman with tremendous dignity. Gone too soon. RIP Sridevi. Sad sad day.”

A few months ago, while talking to a popular newspaper about Sridevi, Farhan Akhtar said, “Sridevi and Saroj Khan were practicing a dance step. Manmohanji, the cinematographer spotted a black patch on the floor and instructed me to polish it. I was the closest to the spot and quickly took the polish and started polishing the floor. As they were practising, Sridevi slipped because of the polish and fell on her back. There was pin drop silence on the set, as you would imagine. I thought to myself 'there goes my job'. But, Sridevi herself started laughing and then slowly even the others found the courage to laugh. I am seriously eternally grateful to her for laughing it off or else my film career would have been cut very short.”
