She was a star then and she's a star now. Decades ago, Bollywood actress Sridevi rocked ‘80s fashion with her chiffon saris, trendy maxi-dresses and fitted churidaar suits. Her wavy helmet of hair also became the rage and were mimicked by awe-struck fans.

Sridevi, Once and Forever a Queen Bee
She was a star then and she's a star now. Decades ago, Bollywood actress Sridevi rocked ‘80s fashion with her chiffon saris, trendy maxi-dresses and fitted churidaar suits. Her wavy helmet of hair also became the rage and were mimicked by awe-struck fans. Cut to circa 2014 and Sridevi, who became a star all over again with English Vinglish, has reinvented herself in accordance with the times. The casual dresses have been swapped for designer labels, voluminous tresses for a sleek updo and chunky jewellery for classy antique pieces. She'll always remain the Queen Bee for us.

Sridevi looks more stunning with every picture we find on Twitter. In this one, from a photoshoot, the actress looks much younger than her 49 years in fuchsia Christian Dior and cascading curls.

We could swear Sridevi's getting younger day by day.

This black and white image of Sridevi and Boney Kapoor seems straight out of a bygone era. While Boney Kapoor looks dapper in a nawaabibandhgala, Sridevi looks regal in a shimmering sari with accessories to match. The photograph is from the Jab Tak Hai Jaan premiere in November last year but we couldn't guess unless told.

Cut to 2013, and the 49-year-old actress had a Gstaad moment all over again, this time with another Mr Kapoor – her husband Boney.

What\'s common between Sridevi, Madhuri and Ash
Apart from the fact that they are among the most beautiful and talented actresses in Bollywood, Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have another thing in common - the choreographer behind their superstardom. It was an old saying in Bollywood that one could not be a number 1 actress unless Saroj Khan taught you to dance. Saroj Khan and Sridevi have a golden association which produced movies such as Judaai, Mr Bechara, Khuda Gawah, Lamhe and Chandni. And, of course, Madhuri was propelled to stardom with the chartbuster song Ek Do Teen (Tezaab) which was choreographed by Saroj ji.

Meanwhile Saroj and Ash worked together in a string of movies including Guru, Umrao Jaan, Balle Balle Amritsar To LA, Kuch Naa Kaho and Devdas.
