Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur took to social media to share a soul-stirring memory from his first day of shooting with the legendary Sridevi, alongside actor Nagarjuna. The photo he posted, a throwback from a song sequence in Mahabaleshwar, comes with an emotional caption that captures the awe, admiration, and affection he held for the late superstar.
In the post, Kapur recalls how Sridevi’s dancing left the entire crew spellbound: “The only thing that moved was Sridevi dancing.” So mesmerising was her performance that he even forgot to call "cut"—a rare moment of complete artistic surrender that says volumes about her screen presence. According to him, it was as if "another being had descended amongst us."
But the tribute didn’t stop at her talent. Kapur opened up about Sridevi’s fierce loyalty, particularly during troubled times during the film’s production. She would speak up for him, defend his vision, and shield him as only someone with immense integrity and compassion could. It paints a picture of a woman not only gifted, but grounded—someone who used her influence to uplift those she believed in.
What touched readers the most, though, was Kapur's insight into Sridevi’s emotional depth. He wrote about her vulnerability and innocence, which she channeled directly into the camera, making it her confidante. He beautifully explained how this rare willingness to expose her inner self is what made her a true star—not just for what she could do, but for what she dared to share.
As fans continue to remember Sridevi's grace, power, and poise on screen, this heartfelt post serves as a reminder of her humanity off-screen. She wasn’t just a performer. She was an emotion. One that lingers long after the camera stops rolling.
