Raveena Tandon: Sridevi just like Divya Bharti got stuck at the same

Sridevi's demise has shaken the entire Indian film industry. The actor passed away on Saturday 24, 2018 in Dubai. The entire Bollywood is mourning her death and is deeply shocked and saddened.

Just like Sridevi, even Divya Bharti's death had affected the entire Bollywood, many years ago. Their striking resemblance and acting talent won them a lot of admirers and fans.

Sridevi had replaced Divya Bharti in Laadla after the latter's demise. Raveena Tandon shared an eerie memory while shooting for the film and said that both the actors got stuck at the same line from the film.

Raveena told a leading tabloid, "The first shot was an emotional one for us because Sridevi had stepped into Divya Bharti's shoes after her untimely demise. Divya, Shakti Kapoor and I had shot a scene in Aurangabad where she fires us and throws us out of the office. While shooting the scene, Divya was constantly getting stuck on a particular line of dialogue and had to give several retakes before it was okay."

"Around six months later, we were shooting the same scene with Sridevi in the same office and it was so eerie because she was stuck on the same line. All of us on the set had gooseflesh and Shaktiji (Shakti Kapoor) suggested we all chant the Gayatri mantra aloud. I held Sridevi's hand as we said the prayers, then we broke a coconut and resumed shooting", added Raveena.

Raveena shared her experience of working with Sridevi. She told a leading news channel, "I think as a mentor I think Sri was always so maternal right from the beginning. I have worked with a lot of superstars, a lot of senior actresses and all of them trust me were not so welcoming. I met Sri when I was only two films old. I met her when I was a child then I actually got a chance to work with her. And from the first day onwards I was completely smitten. She would just walk into the room and you know walk into a scene and completely steal everyone's thunder. But she was also so you know comfortable there was a sense of comfort, there was a sense of I think maternal love in her.''
