Whatever I am today is because of my mom: Sridevi

Sridevi is neck deep in promotions of her upcoming release titled Mom. Mumbai Mirror caught up with the actress to talk about her film and more…

In this age of remakes, is there any film of hers she’d like Jhanvi to take forward. “Abhi tak to aage bhi nahin badi hai woh, let’s see how she does in her first film,” the mom shoots back.

For Sridevi, the word ‘mom’ epitomises devotion, giving and selflessness. It also brings back memories of her own mother who was pious, taught her to respect elders, always be punctual and professional, and these are the qualities she wants to pass on to her children. “Whatever I am today is because of my mom,” she says emotionally.

If she were given a chance to relive her life, would she choose another profession? “My family wasn’t in films and destiny brought me into this film industry at the age of four, and I’d always want to be this Sridevi, Sridevi, the actor,” Sridevi signed off.
