Sridevi has been an iconic figure for not her fans but for many people too. She also won the hearts with her talented skills, with her charm, superlative performances and poised demeanour. Here’s taking a look at some of her interesting quotes.

Sridevi’s demise has left a huge void in the film industry; her family and close friends are devastated by her demise. It has been difficult for fans to come to terms with this tragic news and many are still in disbelief about her unfortunate death.

On Motherhood

"Nothing is more important than your children. 

After you become a mother, the instinct comes naturally. You don’t have to learn motherhood."
Marriage

“I want to settle down ‘in abroad’ but my mom does not like the idea. So that I can have ice-creams and milk-shakes and watch movies. In Bombay, I have no time to do anything, and in Madras, I only sit at home and watch TV”

“My favourite dream is one in which I see a very handsome man dressed in white who comes towards me and kisses me gently. And when we kiss a transformation takes place, and we are in bridal clothes. God, he’s the most handsome man I’ve ever seen!”

On Boney Kapoor

“I fell in love with him when I got to know the real him. It was difficult, traumatic even and it took me many years to finally accept the fact that I was destined to be with Boney. In hindsight, I only wish that I had realised and accepted his love for me sooner. I always believe in following my heart and I am glad that I did. My parents had passed away by then and my sister was shocked with my decision. But now, she shares a great relationship with my husband and is convinced that he is the best thing that ever happened to me!"

On Herself

“Someone very simple. I'm an ordinary person. Nothing very interesting. Just another parents' daughter. Even ordinary girls have style. I don't think I've got that. You see the real Sridevi in the house. I hate to go out for parties. I like being at home with my parents. I'm a very shy person and difficult to get along with.”

“I was a very shy and lonely child. There were just the two of us. My sister, Latha, and I. Even though my parents were devoted to me, I was lonely. I hated crowds and people. The minute I saw more than three or four people in a room I’d run and hide behind my mother’s pallav. I was extremely attached to her. I still am.”

“I am a hypersensitive and emotional person. My family tells me that I should toughen up and try not to get hurt so easily. I’m a total introvert. If I get hurt, I can’t even confide in my sister. I just suffer silently. This affects me physically. I toss and turn the whole night and the next day my face is all red and swollen.”

On Fitness

“Your state of mind reflects on your face and I am in the happiest phase of my life today. I lead a systematic life. I am health conscious, I do power yoga, play tennis four days a week, control my diet and resist junk food, fried stuff and sweets, even though I have a sweet tooth. And most importantly, I don’t sweat the small stuff. All these bring a change in the appearance.”
