FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Google doodle celebrates actress sridevi | History Defined

Google Doodle today celebrates actress Sridevi’s 60th birthday. The illustration was designed by Mumbai-based artist Bhumika Mukherjee.

Born in 1963 in Tamil Nadu, Sridevi was barely four years old when she made her debut with Thunaivan, where she played a cameo as Lord Muruga. She faced the camera as a child artiste in movies like Kandan Karunai , Adi Parasakthi and Nam Naadu among others.

As a child, she shared the screen with stalwarts of those times like M. G. Ramachandran and Jayalalithaa. The earliest memory of Sridevi might be one of her playing Raja, a boy with a curious expression listening in as MGR sings ‘Nalla perai vaanga vendum pillaigale’.
