In Indian film history, Sridevi's name is counted among those stars who won the hearts of the audience with their acting not only in Hindi cinema but also in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada films. Due to her excellent acting skills, she was called the first female superstar of Indian cinema, but as much as her films were discussed, her personal life was also as interesting. During her career, there were talks about her relationships with many co-stars, the names of Mithun Chakraborty, Jeetendra and many others were included in this list, but there was one relationship which could never be completed, yet remained in the hearts of people for decades, that relationship was between Rajinikanth and Sridevi. From an onscreen couple to a close friendship Rajinikanth and Sridevi worked together in more than 20 films. Irrespective of the language, the chemistry of this pair set the screen on fire every time. Their films did wonders at the box office, and a deep friendship also developed between the two behind the scenes. The ease and mutual respect between the two were such that people started considering them an ideal couple in real life, too. Rajinikanth, who was 13 years older than Sridevi, gradually started getting attracted to her. The two came close, but what happened next will surprise you. An incomplete love story of Rajinikanth An anecdote, shared by late director K. Balachander, sums up Rajinikanth's feelings. He said that Rajinikanth had made up his mind to propose Sridevi and was once about to propose at her housewarming ceremony, but as soon as he reached the house, the power suddenly went off. Rajinikanth considered it a bad omen and left without saying anything. Rajinikanth then married Latha Rangachari in 1981, while Sridevi married renowned producer Boney Kapoor in 1996. When Rajinikanth fell ill, Sridevi fasted for him In 2011, Rajinikanth's condition became critical when he was admitted to the hospital due to dehydration and difficulty in breathing. He was taken to Singapore for treatment. Sridevi was extremely worried during this difficult time. She worshipped Shirdi Sai Baba and fasted for seven days for his speedy recovery. Not only this, she also specially visited Sai Baba temple in Pune and prayed for Rajinikanth's well-being. Her prayers and the prayers of millions of fans across the country bore fruit and Rajinikanth returned healthy. Rajinikanth was devastated by Sridevi's death Sridevi died suddenly on 24 February 2018. She died due to drowning in a bathtub while attending a family wedding function in Dubai. This sad news shocked the entire film industry and the country. Rajinikanth expressed deep condolences on social media and wrote, 'I am shocked and deeply saddened. I have lost a dear friend and this industry has lost a true legend. My condolences are with her family and friends. You will always be missed, Sridevi.' He immediately rushed to Mumbai to bid her a final farewell and paid his last respects to his dear friend with teary eyes.
