I am not obsessed with brands: Sridevi

NEW DEHLI: Bollywood diva Sridevi, who was once famous for dancing around in her signature saris on snowcapped mountains, flaunted saris once again in her comeback movie English Vinglish and looked fabulous. The actor said she prefers Indian clothes when she’s off screen and she is not a brand person.

“Well, definitely I love good brands, but at the same time I am not obsessed with them. I go for anything as long as it looks good on me. I am definitely someone who prefers Indian clothes especially saris,” the 49-year-old told IANS.

The actor was in the Indian capital to inaugurate an exhibition. Dressed up in Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s anarkali suit, she arrived at the venue in a cab. This was not the first time that she opted for Sabyasachi designs.

Talking about her fascination for the designer, she said, “I always liked him [Sabyasachi Mukherjee] and from the English Vinglish days, I really started liking his clothes. My favourites are Manish Malhotra and Sabyasachi and of course a few more designers but these two really come first.”

When asked about the secret behind her everlasting beauty, the actor said, “I am very health conscious. I also try to be happy and positive all the time. Also, one should check their diet.” Sridevi, who is married to film-maker Boney Kapoor, has two daughters — Jhanvi and Khushi.

Despite the fact that the actor has a filmography of over 200 movies, Sridevi revealed that she had never planned to break into acting. “Acting was never planned. I came to Chennai only for studies because my father was a lawyer and he was practicing there. He always wanted me to study. So from Madurai, we shifted to Chennai only for studies.”

“When I was a child, I got an offer from Tamil film-maker Sando Chinnappa Thevar and then things starting falling into my lap. I was the busiest child star doing three shifts a day,” recalled Sridevi. “Then I became a heroine, when I was 11 years old and since then, there was no looking back.”

Speaking about her future plans, she said, “I am reading scripts and meeting people. If anything interesting comes across, I will say yes. I want the makers and directors to decide if I am good for a particular role or not.”
