To celebrate late Indian cinema icon Sridevi’s 60th birth anniversary, Google paid a heartfelt tribute to the legendary actor with a creative doodle on Sunday. Sridevi started her glorious career in Indian cinema at the very young age of four and graced the cinema with a phenomenal talent for about four decades and worked in about three hundred movies.
Sridevi’s last appearance was in 2017 in the film Mom before passing away in February 2018.
Mumbai-based guest artist Bhumika Mukherjee created the doodle, Google said.
On her birth anniversary (August 13) this year, along with the special doodle of the actress showing her in a dance pose with several flowers around her, Google also shared details about the actress's journey in the Indian cinema.
"She fell in love with movies as a child and started acting at four years old in the Tamil movie, Kandhan Karunai. Sridevi learned to speak multiple South Indian languages, which allowed her to break into India's other film industries," Google shared.
Google further added, "After playing the lead role in the action comedy ‘Himmatwala’, Sridevi established herself as a national icon and box-office attraction in Bollywood." Throughout the following decade, she gained further popularity with hits like 'Sadma' and 'Chaalbaaz,' securing her position as one of the few Bollywood actresses to headline blockbuster movies without a male actor in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
The Indian government also honoured her with the Padma Shri. In 2017, Sridevi starred in the crime thriller “Mom” as a rage-filled and protective mother, earning her the National Film Award for best actress, said Google.
