As an artist who found her calling at the age of 4, she swapped playgrounds for movie sets and friends for directors, and made 70-mm film her canvas. By her own admission, she would have it no other way. Born as Shree Amma Yanger Ayyapan, she changed the course of Indian cinema when she became _Sridevi_. Sridevi Kapoor shared an intimate relationship with the camera, and it loved her like no other, passionately capturing every aspect of that expressive face and her equally expressive frame. She loved it back with equal force. Normally shy and quiet, Sridevi blossomed under its gaze, delivering such depth in her performance that it would leave audiences breathless, wishing that their dance would never end, craving just a little more. Sridevi was India’s first female superstar and at the time of her passing, on Feb. 24 at 54, had starred in close to 300 movies over five decades. She enthralled audiences across the globe in a variety of Indian languages (Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi). She owned every frame of every film she was in—without the need of a male co-star, bringing in audiences and setting the box office alight, firmly on her own shoulders. Everyone wanted her and wanted to be like her. She could be childlike, grown up, funny, serious, beguiling, sexy—she was the ultimate actor. Sridevi leaves behind a legacy that will live beyond us all, a legacy built on the foundation of pure dedication, talent, hard work and a sprinkle of fairy dust that was showered on her by the Gods! She was my childhood, and one of the big reasons I became an actor. To refer to all of us as mere fans would be a disservice to her. When the news first broke of her passing, I was immobilized. All I could do then was listen to songs from her films, revisit her interviews and watch her iconic scenes over and over again. I knew I was not alone; millions were feeling that exact emotion of shock and loss. Her connection with the audience was so strong that that each one of us has special memories linked to her. She left us too soon. My last memory of her is a red-carpet moment last December. In the frenzy of flashbulbs and whirring cameras, she pulled me into a tight hug and spoke lovingly and excitedly about her two daughters, Jhanvi and Khushi. Her family was her life. She left me feeling warm and fuzzy, and with a promise to meet again. But angels don’t pass on. They just shine brighter in another realm—so I will always look out for her in the sky. Thank you for the magic, Sri ma’am. Forever your fan. _A version of this article appears in the March 12, 2018, issue of TIME_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5179282/priyanka-chopra-sridevi-kapoor/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5179282/priyanka-chopra-sridevi-kapoor/"},"headline":"How Priyanka Chopra Remembers Bollywood Icon Sridevi Kapoor: 'She Was My Childhood'","datePublished":"2018-03-01T14:15:25.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-12T21:37:48.000Z","description":"Sridevi was Bollywood's leading lady","url":"https://time.com/5179282/priyanka-chopra-sridevi-kapoor/","keywords":["remembrance"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt17c637b612f0865f/698929200a4a2250829d1ee5/priyanka-chopra-sridevi.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Priyanka Chopra","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/priyanka-chopra/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt17c637b612f0865f/698929200a4a2250829d1ee5/priyanka-chopra-sridevi.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Indian film actress Priyanka Chopra and Sridevi attend the","caption":"Indian film actress Priyanka Chopra and Sridevi attend the","creditText":"SOPA Images / LightRocket / Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/remembrance/","name":"remembrance"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5179282/priyanka-chopra-sridevi-kapoor/","name":"How Priyanka Chopra Remembers Bollywood Icon Sridevi Kapoor: 'She Was My Childhood'"}}]}] ```
