To commemorate the 62nd birth anniversary of the late legendary actress Sridevi, Divya Khossla paid tribute with a heartfelt dance performance to Sridevi's iconic song "Na Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai" from the movie ChaalBaaz (1989).
Khossla posted a fun video on her Instagram account, where she is dressed in a simple salwar kameez, sans makeup, and portrays a maid. She grooves to the upbeat song, using a mop as a prop while cleaning the floor.
Khossla expressed her admiration for Sridevi in a heartfelt note accompanying the video: "Sridevi Mam has always been my inspiration. On her birth anniversary, here's a small tribute to her from my film #EkChaturNaar on her iconic song 'Na Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai'. Grateful beyond words for the chance to celebrate my forever favorite with this performance! Her magic lives on ...PS: Kisi ke haath na aayegi ye ladki".
The video quickly gained traction, with many speculating whether this was part of a larger tribute, a promotional teaser, or even footage from her next film. Khossla's interpretation of the song exudes a similar endearing energy and liveliness that Sridevi was known for. She brings her own twist to the performance while remaining faithful to the original mood of the song, radiating a classic Bollywood aura.
Sridevi, known as the "First Female Superstar of Indian Cinema", began her career as a child actor at the age of 4 and went on to become one of the most adored performers in India. Her ability to light up the screen with comedy, romance, drama, or dance made her a rare talent. Sridevi's influence continues to inspire performers across generations.
Boney Kapoor, Sridevi's husband, also commemorated her birth anniversary by sharing a cherished memory from 1990. He posted a throwback picture from Sridevi's 27th birthday party in Chennai, revealing that he had jokingly wished her a "happy 26th birthday," which she initially mistook for teasing.
Ultra Play, an OTT platform, is celebrating Sridevi's life and legacy with a curated film collection called "Remembering Sridevi".
