Bollywood screen goddess Sridevi turned 50 years of age on Tuesday.

As the gorgeous actress added another year to her age, her daughters Jhanvi and Khushi reportedly surprised her by baking a cake for their mother and by decorating the entire house.

The 'Hawa Hawai girl', who likes to spend her birthday with her family probably received the most special gift from her daughters on her special day.

Husband Boney Kapoor will also throw a birthday bash for Sridevi.

In an interview to Hindustan Times, the birthday girl said,"I hate celebrating birthdays. Boneyji is throwing a party, but that's for reasons other than my birthday. Earlier, when I would go for shoots with my mother, I'd ask her not to tell others that it was my birthday. I don't like cutting cakes; I just love to spend time with my family and friends."

Born as Shree Amma Yanger on Aug 13, 1963, the actress started her career as a child artist at the age of four years.


Sridevi got her first big break as the leading lady in the Tamil film 'Moondru Mudichu', where she shared the screen with south superstars Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan.

Besides acting in numerous Tamil, Telegu and Malayalam films, she literally ruled Bollywood (Hindi film industry) in 1980s and early 1990s with films like 'Mr India', 'Nagina', 'Sadma', 'Tohfa', 'Chandni', 'Aakhree Raasta', 'Chaalbaaz', 'Lamhe' and 'Khuda Gawah'.

The actress won five Filmfare awards including a Filmfare Special Award.

After having two successful decades in the industry, the actress married producer Boney Kapoor in 1996 and left the industry in 1997 to raise her daughters Jhanvi and Khushi.


The actress later made her comeback in the small screen with a serial named 'Malini Iyer' (2004-2005).

Sridevi has often been regarded as 'The First Female Superstar of the Indian Cinema' and has been an inspiration for many leading stars of the generation.

The actress made her Bollywood comeback with the film 'English Vinglish' in 2012.

The film won her wide critical acclaim.

In 2013, Sridevi was conferred the Padma Shri award by the Government of India for her contribution in Indian Cinema.
