RIP Sridevi! Did You Know She Had Acted With Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar?

Our beloved screen diva Sridevi is no more with us. After suffering from a massive cardiac arrest, Sridevi passed away at the age of 54. What's more tragic (if it can even be more) is that her daughter Janhvi is making her debut with Dhadak in a few months time. Sridevi was the one who really wanted to see that happen and had guided her to the cusp of stardom, so it is sad that she won't be there to see the release of Janhvi's first movie. Sridevi may no longer be with us, but she had left behind a huge legacy that is irreplaceable and unforgettable.

One of the few heroines who ruled Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and of course, Bollywood, Sridevi's reign went beyond three decades. In the interim, she had made some really popular pairing with many of the screen superstars of the time. Some of her most famous male jodidar happened to be brother-in-law Anil Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Rajinikanth, Rishi Kapoor, Sunny Deol, Jackie Shroff etc.

But not many know of her 'less popular' stars who were (and still are) the reigning superstars of the '90s. Did you know that she had acted with Salman, SRK, Akshay et al? If not, then the below trivia might help you...

Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan had a cameo in this forgotten revenge drama, where he played Sridevi's husband, an army-man, who gets killed by the villain. In fact, SRK was such a huge admirer of Sri's, that he even agreed to do a cameo in Shakti - The Power, a movie that she had produced. Ironically, her last screen appearance is in his production Zero, where she has a celeb cameo.

Salman Khan

While he is close friend with her husband and brother-in-law, Salman Khan has also romanced Sridevi in two movies, namely Chandramukhi and Chand Ka Tukda. However, like Army, even these two movies were disasters at the box office.

Akshay Kumar

Sridevi took a long break from acting in 1997 to focus on her family life. However in 2004, a long delayed and actually unfinished movie came out called Meri Biwi Ka Jawab Nahi. It was the only movie where she was paired opposite Akshay Kumar. Needless to say the movie went out of the theatres unnoticed.

Sanjay Dutt

Even though both these stars were quite a draw in the '80s and '90s, it is quite strange that Sanjay Dutt and Sridevi have acted only in one movie together. But what a movie it was! Gumrah may have been a flop at the box office, but it is a gritty thriller with both the actors delivering one of their finest performances.

Hrithik Roshan

In one of his earliest performances, Hrithik Roshan had played a child actor in his father Rakesh Roshan's Bhagwan Dada, where he played Rajinikanth's son. Sridevi was the heroine in the movie. After the news of her death broke out, Hrithik Roshan had shared a throwback picture with her during the shoot. What lovely memories!

The only male superstars who ruled the ''90s and the new millennium but couldn't act with Sridevi were Aamir Khan and Ajay Devgn. Unless you count out the collage song at the end of Bombay Talkies, the only time they shared a screen together was for a photoshoot and Aamir's reality show Satyamev Jayate. Ajay Devgn's Hall Bol meanwhile has Sridevi in a cameo, though it was more of a televised footage.

Rest in peace, Srideviji!
