Shekhar Kapur
Filming Mr India's songs and the Charlie Chaplin sequence with Sridevi were among the most joyful moments of my directing experience. Her intuitive sense of the comic and the sensual were amazing.
Karan Johar
I danced to Hawa Hawaii when I was in school. I have seen every film of Sridevi, multiple times. I met her with shaking hands and feet on the set of my father's film, Gumrah. I felt I had arrived when she called me for the first time. Every time I met her I was star-struck, and had a fanboy vibe. I don't think I can believe it [Sridevi's passing]. Perhaps I don't think I want to believe that she is no more. She is a huge reason I love the movies. I feel like Indian cinema just lost its smile. The heavens are fortunate. They just inherited a gift of life. I'm heartbroken.
Kajol
Still see her laughing, talking. Unbelievable. Actor par excellence. A school in herself. Learnt so much from her. A huge loss.
Manisha Koirala
Shocked and pained. No age to go! She was the most glamorous and talented actress I admired. I'd eagerly wait for her films.
Hrithik Roshan
I loved and admired Sridevi. My first acting shot as a child actor was with her [in Bhagwan Dada]. I was nervous in front of her. I remember her shaking my hands and pretending to be nervous - just to boost my confidence. We had to laugh [for a scene], and she kept laughing till I got it right.
Aamir Khan
I am deeply disturbed and saddened by the untimely and tragic passing away of Srideviji. I have always been a huge fan of her work. I have always been an admirer of the grace and dignity with which she conducted herself. My heartfelt condolences to everyone in the family. I join her fans in mourning.
