Sridevi was 54
when she passed away in Dubai late on Saturday night.
"I still cannot believe she is no more. I was there in Dubai with her for
her make-up at Mohit Marwah's (her nephew) marriage. She was looking so pretty,
happy and bright as ever. I came back two days ago, and on Saturday late night the news started coming in
(about her death). I am still in shock," Shinde told IANS.
"She was one of the icons with so much warmth and positivity. I started
working with her after ‘English Vinglish' released (2012). She always treated,
all of us, whether make-up artistes, dress people, everyone... like a family.
We were one unit."
Shinde said she would ask him if he ate on time and how his family was doing.

Sridevi was also a painter.
"She had a great sense of colours and shades. There is an art of combining
shades that complement the entire attire. She knew it right, I rather learnt it
from her. She had a strong sense of aesthetics," said Shinde.
Sharing another interesting thing about the star, he said: "...The colour,
ornaments, even the size of her bindi, she had an eye for detailing."
The make-up artiste worked with Sridevi in films "Puli" and
"Mom".

According to him, the actress was very cooperative and patient during her
make-up sessions.
"I remember during 'Puli', she was supposed to wear heavy make-up. She
never threw any tantrums, was always patient and cooperative with us even
though the process would be time-consuming," recalled Shinde.
"I won't say she was a perfectionist, but the fact is that she exemplifies
excellence; that comes with perfection. So yes, perfection is the word to
define it."
