Sarah Jane "I Can Speak Hindi"

Now this is something interesting - Sarah Jane Dias is telling people that although English is her first language but she can converse in Hindi. She said she even took diction classes for her debut film "Game".

Well, I believe she loves to talk and you can see how she goes on about the languages she knows:

"See, I have studied Hindi all my life; it has been a subject during my school days. However since I speak English so confidently, many people tend to think that it is the only language that I am comfortable with. Yes, I had moved to Muscat when I was quite young and came back to India for my college days. However the fact remains that I am inherently a Mumbai girl"

While her diction classes are continuing till date, it was during the preparation for her part in 'Game' that she had Shabana Azmi as a mentor for some instant results.

"Yes, she was a great help with the language and that further made me confident that I could deliver the goods", smiles Sarah, "I try speaking to people as much as possible in Hindi and ask them to correct me wherever I go wrong. In fact now that I am a part of the industry, I don't wish anything that is not as per perfection."

There is something about her that I am not liking much ... even in the promos of her movie...all we noticed were the red heels...she was that impressive you see. As it is it is working in a Hindi movies requires someone to know the language at least. I can't really get how Katrina Kaif still can't get Hindi words and she has been in Hindi cinema fraternity for quite sometime. These girls need to go beyond languages now.

Sridevi

While reporting about the latest updates we sometimes tend to forget the super stars of the yester years. Sridevi is one such celebrity who has been the biggest stars of her times. Sridevi was born in 1963 and has acted in hundreds of Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam and Telegu films for which she has won many awards as well.

Sridevi started acting when she was only four years old but started getting attention from the late 70's. She was known for her big eyes and ever youthful looks. She worked with people much older and much younger than herself but she remained to look like a timeless beauty.

She has won awards for her performances in various films in different languages. She has won four Filmfare awards for best actress category in ten years time.  She was nominated for Filmfare best actress category eight times otherwise when she didn't win the award.

She married Boney Kapoor the famous producer and brother of Indian actor Anil Kapoor in 1996. She left the film industry in 1997 to take care of her children. She is the only Indian actress who is known as the "Female Amitabh" and the "The First Female Super Star of Bollywood." She ruled the industry for more than ten years and was one of the most highest paid actresses as well.

After her retirement she has focused a lot on painting, which is recognized at an international level as well. She donates the money that is received through the auction of her paintings.

Lamhe was my favorite film of all time. Sridevi won the Filmfare Best Actress award for this movie. The songs were too good in this movie. Must have watched this movie and this scene a zillion times.

Shot from one of the most popular romantic songs of the Hindi cinema from Mr. India. Till this day people hum this song.
