Mahesh Thakur reveals about his working experience with Sridevi

Mahesh recalled about shooting a wedding night sequence with Sridevi on the very first day of the shoot. He said, “Here I was getting to romance her. Since we had a lot of romantic scenes, we really gelled up well. Also with Satish ji at the helm, it was stressful for any actor to be performing there. But, I think the sense of comfort that Sridevi brought with her… it made things really easy. I remember Prabhudeva had been signed to shoot some initial dance scenes and he too was in awe of her. While we were petrified, she was as welcoming as ever.” The Tu Tu Main Main actor also praised Sridevi for her humility while rehearsing his lines with her.

She later returned to the big screen with Gauri Shinde's English Vinglish. Her last movie was Ravi Udyawa's Mom, while she made her final cameo appearance in Shah Rukh Khan's Zero.
