Fans of Bollywood films are jubilantly celebrating Sridevi's 60th birthday today, August 13, 2023! Sridevi enlightened the Bollywood screens with her exceptional performances during the course of a remarkable career that lasted over four decades and included roles in around three hundred films. Even in a field dominated by men, she frequently stood out, bringing glitz to both serious and lighthearted productions.

Sridevi, who was born on this day in 1963 in what is now Tamil Nadu, India, has always had a love of films. At the infant age of four, she made her acting debut in the Tamil movie "Kandhan Karunai." She impressively mastered a number of South Indian languages, which cleared the path for her to establish herself in several regional Indian film industries. In the beginning of her career, she made a name for herself in Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam film by showcasing her talent in a variety of genres.

Sridevi received widespread acclaim in 1976 for her performance as the title character in K. Balachander's "Moondru Mudichu." The popularity of the movie propelled her and her co-stars to even greater fame and spawned a string of successful films, including "Guru" and "Sankarlal." She was regarded as Tamil cinema's brightest star at the time, and Hindi-speaking film industry producers were also drawn to her alluring on-screen presence.

After playing the lead role in the action-packed comedy "Himmatwala," Sridevi gained notoriety on a national scale and became a major force at Bollywood's box office. She gave outstanding performances during the subsequent ten years in films including the heartfelt romantic drama "Sadma" and the humorous comedy "ChaalBaz." She stood out because she defied gender stereotypes in a male-dominated field by taking the lead in big-budget films without a male actor.

After taking a brief break from acting in the early 2000s, Sridevi made a comeback on television through programmes like "Malini" and "Kaboom." She then offered her knowledge by serving on the board of the Asian Academy of Film & Television. She successfully made her comeback as a leading lady in Bollywood in 2012 with the film "English Vinglish," ending a break. The Indian government honoured her extraordinary accomplishments by giving her the prestigious Padma Shri award. Sridevi won the National Film Award for Best Actress in 2017 for her outstanding work as a tough and protective mother in the criminal thriller "Mom," in which she gave a striking performance.

Sridevi left a lasting impression on the film industry by creating new avenues for women to excel in starring parts in Indian cinema. Her legacy will always be linked to the illustrious history of Indian acting.
