The MOM leading lady is a happy person. She got lot of appreciation for her role. She also gave her mind on the comments made by big director Rajamouli of Baahubali on not casting her.
Sridevi says that she managed to steer her career while keeping the pressures at bay. She enjoyed being a leading lady — “I got to wear different clothes, I got to do the best roles.”
And she didn’t let box office numbers kill her sleep. “If the picture does well, I’m surprised and happy; and if it doesn’t do well, then it’s part of your profession. You see what went wrong and try not to do the same mistake,” says Sridevi.
The 53-year-old actor made a comeback after a 15-year-long sabbatical with English Vinglish, where she played the role of a middle-aged woman trying to learn English. “English Vinglish just came to me.
It just fell in my lap. I was not consciously planning to pick up anything. When something comes to me and appeals to me, touches my heart and I feel for the character, I do it,” she says.
She also adds “If the actor is being herself, tired , with just a bun on and posts a picture on social media, then the comments will come. So many comments such as ‘what is she looking like’, ‘what chappal is she wearing’.
Then as an actor you feel ,why give a chance to anyone to do that. You better look your best, even if you are going through hell inside,” says Sridevi, whose performance in her recently released film Mom has garnered appreciation.
