The doodle, made by a Mumbai artist, is dressed in an iconic blue saree from her film “Mr India”, while posing with her hands in the position from “Mere haathon mein…” .
The description of the Google doodle read: “Starring in nearly three hundred movies over the course of four decades, Sridevi made Bollywood’s sweeping dramas and comedies shine, oftentimes without a male counterpart in a traditionally male-dominated industry.”
The acting legend was born in 1963 in present-day Tamil Nadu, India.
Sridevi began working in film at the ripe age of four years old, before gaining success in Bollywood.
She appeared in films including Lamhe, Chandni, Chalbaaz, Sadma, and others.
On February 24, 2018, she was found dead of an accidental drowning in her room at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel in Dubai.
Daughter Janhvi shared how difficult it was losing her mom in a former interview: “I was shooting for Dhadak, and dealing with her loss was quite tough, and also somehow finding the will to keep working but also finding a way to deal with all of these things happening in our lives was tough.
“Figuring that out was definitely the biggest war in my life.”
