- Story Text: Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar launched a book, 'Sridevi - The Eternal Screen Goddess', on Sunday (December 22) in Mumbai, based on the life and times of late legendary Hindi films actress, Sridevi.
Penned by Satyarth Nayak, the book traces the five-decade-long journey of Sridevi, first as a child actor and then moving on to being one of the first few women superstars of Bollywood.
Sridevi's 300 film career began at the age four and culminated in her becoming one of Hindi cinema's biggest female superstars. The actress was also awarded the Padma Shri, India's fourth-highest civilian honor in 2013.
She died at a wedding in Dubai aged 54. - Copyright Holder: ANI (India)
