Actor Mahesh Thakur, who has starred in films like Hum Saath Saath Hain, has opened up about his experience sharing screen space with late actor Sridevi. Mahesh and Sridevi starred together in the show Malini Iyer, which aired on Sahara One in 2004. Produced by Boney Kapoor and directed by Satish Kaushik, Mahesh played Sridevi’s husband on the show. Mahesh revealed how nobody dared to even walk near Sridevi and said that everyone thought of her as intimidating.
In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Mahesh said, “She (Sridevi) was a sweetheart and she will always live in my heart. She was the kindest artiste I have ever worked with. Because of her celebrity status, nobody used to go near her. If she is sitting on a chair, people will be six to seven feet away from her. Nobody used to walk close. Everybody felt intimidated.”
Previously in an interview with Indian Express, Mahesh had opened up about the romantic scenes between him and Sridevi in Malini Iyer. He said, “Here I was getting to romance her. Since we had a lot of romantic scenes, we really gelled up well. Also with Satish ji at the helm, it was stressful for any actor to be performing there. But, I think the sense of comfort that Sridevi brought with her… it made things really easy. I remember Prabhudeva had been signed to shoot some initial dance scenes and he too was in awe of her. While we were petrified, she was as welcoming as ever.”
