Speaking on the book, the author told Indian Express, “I have always been a huge admirer of Sridevi and this book gave me the perfect opportunity to celebrate the journey of India’s beloved screen goddess. It was wonderful interacting with various film personalities that she worked with over the years, and put together their memories and stories into a narrative that charts her saga from a child star to India’s first female superstar.”
On her birth anniversary, we are honoured to announce the book charting the incredible journey of cultural icon and phenomenon-the late Sridevi.

Hindi Cinema, this book for the first time delves deep into her iconic body of

comprehensive narrative on Sridevi will be embraced by millions of her fans
from across the globe. I am indebted to Penguin for sharing my vision for this
book, and would especially like to thank Boney Kapoor for being a pillar of
strength in helping me realise my dream,” he added.
