Director Farah Khan shared this throwback from 1994 of herself and Sridevi (centre). "When I was just starting out in my career, she was so supportive, so encouraging," Khan wrote. "Getting to choreograph a Sridevi show, or a song for her, was like a dream.. no wonder I never got awed or starstruck with any other star in my entire career because I started from the TOP! There never was and never will be anyone like SRIDEVI. Love her always."
Actor Vivek Dahiya reminded fans that Sridevi always spoke her truth:
She might be one of the most reclusive and reticent stars of her time but whenever it came to speaking her heart out, she never shied away. #SrideviLivesForever
