Superstar. Super wife. Super ‘Mom’. Sridevi Kapoor takes Farhana Farook into her inner world

Farhana Farook
Sridevi On A Grand Mission

Blue became the colour of passion as her saree swayed against the breeze, while she sang of untold passion to an invisible lover .Kate nahin katte yeh din yeh raat in Mr India celebrated unabashed sensuality.

Her stardom may be for the world. But her world is her family… Excerpts…
