I did not become an actress by then and she was already a child Superstar at the time. So, other than my uncle, Krishna garu and Aunty, Vijayanirmala, she is the first star I saw from the Industry. I couldn’t believe that she left us on the day when my phone was constantly buzzing and even today, I am unable to bear the shock. I saw her last image only once and she looked very peaceful even on deathbed.”

Her husband Boney is my friend and when we visited his home, she cordially welcomed us and gave me tea. I wanted to stand-up and take tea from her hands. In the car, I told my friend, Ashwini Dutt, who was with me, that I couldn’t accept her as an house-wife and told him, I wept inside. I read RGV’s letter the other day and I understood what a soft heart he had and his words about Sridevi are so true. I hope Boney and her children, who were cast away by their extended family,
will be accepted and given all the strength needed.”Many others like Kota Srinivasa Rao, Sumanth, Amala Akkineni, Ali, Sivaji Raja, Nivetha Thomas also spoke at the meet.
