Mahesh
Recalls
His
Shooting
Days
With
Sridevi
Talking
to
IE,
the
actor
recalled
the
days,
when
he
was
shooting
with
the
actress.
He
revealed
that
initially,
he
was
scared
sharing
screen
space
with
her.
He
was
quoted
by
the
leading
daily
as
saying,
"Who
wouldn't
be
scared
of
rubbing
shoulders
with
her?"
Mahesh
Adds…
"And
while
people
would
be
apprehensive
of
entering
the
set
when
she
was
around,
here
was
the
star
approaching
you
to
rehearse
the
lines.
She
was
a
dedicated
artist
and
on
camera,
she
was
magical."
‘It
Was
Sheer
Pleasure
To
Have
Worked
With
Her’
"Since
they
were
also
producing
the
show,
Sridevi
would
be
on
her
toes
to
check
the
technicalities
and
as
an
actor;
she
was
on
her
professional
best.
Not
just
me,
but
she
made
everyone
associated
with
the
show
at
home.
It
was
sheer
pleasure
to
have
worked
with
her."
Mahesh
&
Sridevi
Gelled
Up
Well
During
The
Shoot
He
further
added,
"At
that
time
there
were
only
two
stars
-
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Sridevi.
She
was
one
of
the
few
female
actors,
who
could
carry
a
film
on
her
shoulder.
And
here
I
was
getting
to
romance
her.
Since
we
had
a
lot
of
romantic
scenes,
we
really
gelled
up
well."
‘She
Was
As
Welcoming
As
Ever’
"Also
with
Satish
ji
at
the
helm,
it
was
stressful
for
any
actor
to
be
performing
there.
But,
I
think
the
sense
of
comfort
that
Sridevi
brought
with
her;
it
made
things
really
easy.
I
remember
Prabhudeva
had
been
signed
to
shoot
some
initial
dance
scenes
and
he
too
was
in
awe
of
her.
While
we
were
petrified,
she
was
as
welcoming
as
ever."
‘It’s
Unbelievable
And
Yet
To
Sink
In’
The
actor
says
that
he
is
yet
to
come
in
terms
with
her
death,
"It's
unbelievable
and
yet
to
sink
in.
She
was
just
54,
how
can
she
go
so
soon.
Be
it
her,
or
even
Reema
Laggoo's
death,
it
comes
as
a
jolt
and
just
shakes
you
up."
‘It’s
Impossible
To
Accept
That
She
Is
No
More’
"I
have
constantly
worked
with
Sridevi
for
two
years
at
a
stretch,
and
we
extensively
shot
together
and
it's
impossible
to
accept
that
she
is
no
more.
I
had
recently
met
her
at
an
event
and
we
discussed
that
we
should
have
tea
soon
together
as
it's
long
we
caught
up.
That
day
will
never
come
now.
I
am
in
a
state
of
shock
and
loss
of
words."
Memorable
Moments
With
Sridevi
He
revealed
a
memorable
moments
shared
with
the
actress,
"We
were
one
of
the
first
shows
to
shoot
abroad.
In
Canada,
where
we
had
put
up,
Sridevi's
daughter
Janhvi
and
my
son
Aryan
used
to
play
together
in
the
play
zone
in
the
hotel.
My
wife
is
a
fan
of
her
and
while
we
were
shooting,
once
Sridevi
overheard
her
fantasizing
that
she
wants
Sridevi
to
wish
her
on
her
birthday."
Sridevi
Called
Mahesh’s
Wife
To
Wish
Her
On
Birthday
"You
won't
believe,
Sridevi
ji
actually
called
up
on
my
mobile
on
her
birthday,
and
asked
me
to
hand
over
the
phone
to
my
wife.
She
was
overjoyed
that
day.
She
had
no
need
to
do
it
but
you
can
comprehend
how
humane
she
was
and
thought
so
much
about
other
people's
happiness."
Mahesh’s
Favourite
Film
Mahesh
revealed
that
he
loved
Sridevi
in
Lamhe.
He
added,
"People
talk
about
how
great
she
was
in
Chandni
but
I
think
she
was
pure
magic
in
Lamhe."
