Sridevi made her Bollywood comeback with Gauri Shinde's 'English Vinglish', and floored us all with her strong independent housewife avatar, who learns English language to prove to the world that she is not less than anyone and that she deserves respect from everyone including her family.

Apart from Sri Devi, late actor Vinod Khanna too was honoured with the prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke award, which is said to be the highest film honour in India.  

In the wee hours of February 24, the whole world went into a major shock after people came to know about Bollywood's 'Chandni', Sridevi's demise in Dubai. The demise of this brilliant and versatile actress has left a deep void in Bollywood, which can't be filled anytime soon.
