When Anupam Kher Posed As Sridevi’s Long-Lost Sister Prabhadevi!
With make-up courtesy Mickey Contractor, and a clever photography job by ace lensman Gautam Rajadhyaksha, Anupam Kher looked stunning passing off as Sridevi’s sister Prabhadevi on April cover of a popular film magazine...
It
was an April Fool’s joke by Cineblitz magazine that was lapped up by the
readers. The cover headline screamed for attention, “EXPLOSIVE: Prabhadevi’s
Shattering Confession, “Yes I Am Sridevi’s Unknown Sister.”
Anupam Kher On The Magzine Cover
With lips painted metallic brown and heavy
make-up on the eyes, the magazine cover claimed that they had found Sridevi’s
ravishing long-lost sister Prabhadevi.
The issue sold out because of the sensational
headline as no one knew that the talented Sridevi had a sister.
Ace make-up artiste and stylist Mickey
Contractor worked on the cover shot and ace photographer Gautam Rajadhyaksha,
shot the cover. And the result was outstanding!
Speaking to the magazine later on, Sridevi said,
“Anupamji didn't tell me what exactly he was going to do. One day, while we
were shooting he told me, 'Ma'am main aap ko ek surprise dene wala hoon' [Ma'm
I'm going to give you a huge surprise]. The whole day he kept telling me the
same thing. So I asked him what the surprise was. And all he said was, 'Nahin,
I don't want to tell you, magar aap bahut hassenge'. The whole day Anupamji
kept building up the suspense. I had absolutely no idea what he was going to
do. I could not even imagine what the surprise was.”
Did the cover leave Sridevi amused, or angry?
“Ya, I found it really very funny. It was a really good April Fool joke for
everybody. Anupamji's make-up was really mind blowing. How nicely it was done.
The credit for it goes to Gautam and Mickey. Of course the credit also goes to
Anupamji. The way he has given his expressions was really great!” signed off
the late actress.
