Kajol Remembers Sridevi’s Versatile Roles and Wishes for an Acting Academy

In a recent episode of The Anupam Kher Show, actress Kajol spoke about the profound impact Sridevi had on her own career aspirations. She imagined a scenario where Sridevi would establish a formal acting academy, and Kajol would eagerly sign up as the first pupil.

Kajol explained that Sridevi’s greatest strength was her chameleon‑like adaptability. Whether she was the romantic heroine in *Chandni*, the mischievous lead in *Chaalbaaz*, the vulnerable girl in *Sadma*, or the nuanced woman in *Lamhe*, Sridevi delivered each performance with complete conviction.

The veteran also highlighted Sridevi’s role in *Khuda Gawah*, noting how the actress’s eyes never betrayed age, and her spirit remained ever‑ready for new challenges. This relentless enthusiasm made Sridevi stand out as a true artist.

Sridevi’s untimely death on 24 February 2018, caused by an accidental drowning in a Dubai hotel bathtub at the age of 54, left the film world in mourning. Kajol’s tribute underscores how Sridevi’s artistic legacy continues to inspire future generations.
