Sridevi's Obsession Page

A picture of Sridevi.

I feel empty... as if something valuable had been taken away from me... if I'm not surrounded by greenery... and at least some flowers. In Madras, my house does have a garden, but in Bombay I have to make do with potted plants and some fresh roses from the florist.

White flowers are my favorite, especially "mogras" because of their heady fragrance. I don't wear "mogras" in my hair too often but they're a must at the "poojas" at home.

My obsession happens to be white flowers. I don't know why but whenever I get bouquets, they're of flowers of many, many different colors. The first bouquet I ever received in my life was when one of my early Telugu films turned out to be a hit. I was also thrilled when Amitabh Bachchanji sent me a truck full of flowers after seeing the rushes of my "Dushman" dance number from Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja.

A sweet fan of mine--he's only 12--sends me flowers every day. Without fail! I can recognize the pink carnations but he also sends me exotic flowers which I've never seen in my life. He must be a rich kid because on occasion, he has even sent me orchids. I keep telling him not to waste his money but he won't listen. I asked his parents to make him stop, but they said, "we're your fans also. We'll feel hurt if you turn down our flowers.

I guess my little fan is obsessed about my obsession...
