Actress reportedly refused to work with Amitabh Bachchan in the past

A yesteryear birdie chirps to say that Amitabh Bachchan may have done a cameo in Sridevi's comeback film but there was a time in the '80s when Sri used to refuse to work with the Big B

This was when she was the reigning queen. With films like Nagina, Chandni, Chalbaaz and Lamha in her kitty, she was keen to do films that focussed on her and were women-centric.

Working with AB meant that the script would be tailored for him as the hero with the heroine playing second fiddle. Well, all that is in the past. Now Sri would love to work with AB. How times change! There is nothing permanent in B-Town. What left Sridevi terrified?

The Bollywood diva was left terrified after she encountered a man, who was dressed up as a groom and ran towards her with a garland in his hand.

It happened when she was shooting for "English Vinglish" in Pune, when a man dressed like a groom chased her in the middle of the road with a garland in his hand.

The actress revealed that she was terrified until she realised that he was only a fan who was about to get married but saw her on the road and left his wedding just to say 'hello' to her.


The actress has won accolades for her comeback role as an Indian housewife and her battle with the English language.

In real life too, Sridevi faces language problem.

"I am a parrot. I just mug up my lines and I have done that all my life as I am not that fluent in any of the languages whether it is Hindi, English or Malayalam, " she told Oye 104.8 FM.
