The legendary actress starred in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu,
Malayalam and Kannada films. She was applauded for her debut leading role in
Solva Sawan (1979) but it was in 1983 that Sridevi announced that she was here
to stay with Himmatwala.
Sridevi And Shabana Azmi
She acted opposite Kamal Hassan in the critically
acclaimed Sadma the same year. Sridevi got her first Filmfare nomination for
the role, but she lost to Shabana Azmi who had delivered a powerful performance
in Arth that year.
While she enjoyed critical acclaim and recognition in the
80s, she had to wait till early 90s to break into the big awards league.
