Sridevi’s 3rd Death Anniversary: Watching English Vinglish Was Disturbing, Says Gauri Shinde

Sridevi was a warm and affectionate person. When she passed away, the director of English Vinglish Gauri Shinde organised a special film screening but it turned out to be a very disturbing and emotional experience. Read on.

Actor Sridevi passed away on February 23, three years back and the film industry hasn’t been able to fathom that loss yet. Three years have passed and everyone around her, including her fans, still can’t believe that the much-loved actor left the world just like that – before her age. While Sridevi’s daughters, especially Janhvi Kapoor aims to keep her mom’s name intact in the film industry by doing some fabulous movies, the absence of Bollywood’s Hawa Hawai is always haunting.

The director of Sridevi’s ‘comeback’ film Gauri Shinde also spoke about the same in her latest interview with ETimes and mentioned that everything – from the memories and those big walls decorated with English Vinglish posters – seems unreal.

After Sridevi passed away in 2018, Gauri and her team organised a film screening of English Vinglish to pay her their final tribute. However, hardly anyone could stay up because it was all too emotional. Talking about the same, Gauri said, “After she passed away, the whole team of the film came together to watch the film once again to celebrate her craft but it was a very, very emotional and disturbing experience for me because it made me realise she’s not there.”

Sridevi was always looked up for her beauty, her on-screen charisma, and her subtle comedy even in serious scenes in the movies. However, those who have worked with her say that she was an incredibly warm person, extremely caring, and totally dedicated to both her family and her craft of acting. Her presence in our hearts is for eternity. We love you, Sridevi!
