Mumbai: Fondly remembering late actor Sridevi, Kamal Haasan today said even
though they were one of the most popular on-screen pairs in the south
film industry, in real life they were like siblings.
Haasan,
while speaking at the India Today Conclave here, recalled the time he
spent with Sridevi, who passed away on February 24.
"I met
Sridevi when she was 15-16 years old. Sometimes in a family, a brother
and sister, during Gokul Ashtami or Krishna Ashtami, are dressed as Lord
Krishna and Radha. That is what I feel about Sridevi. We were siblings
but were made to do romantic things, which we laughed at," he said.
"It
sounds odd that she was like my sister considering that we were one of
the most romantic pairs ever. That is what good acting is about," he
added.
The actor said Sridevi was a great performer and "had a
bag of tricks that she collected from various masters who themselves did
not know it came from them. That is the beauty of that girl."
Haasan also sang a few lines from the song "Surmayee ankhiyon mein" from their film "Sadma" for the audience.
