When Sridevi painted Sonam Kapoor's still from 'Saawariya'

Sridevi, who is often hailed as India’s first female superstar, is considered as one of the finest actors to have graced the film industry to date. Sridevi ruled the silver screen in the 80s and 90s as the actor delivered a wide range of successful films. However, behind the glamorous beauty of Sridevi is a quiet and reserved person, as her friends from the industry would often say.

In a media interaction, Boney Kapoor, Sridevi’s husband, revealed that the actor loved painting and had once painted her niece, Sonam Kapoor. Here are the details.
