‘Sridevi was like my sister': Kamal Haasan
Speaking at the India Today Conclave in Mumbai, Haasan said that they were like siblings who were "made to do romantic things on-screen".
Veteran actor Kamal Haasan on Friday opened up about the off-screen relationship he shared with Sridevi and said that the later actress was like his sister. Haasan and Sridevi were one of the most popular on-screen pairs in the south film industry.
Sridevi died in a Dubai hotel on February 24 due to accidental drowning. Her last rites were performed in Mumbai on February 28 where several Bollywood celebs and thousands of fans came together to pay their final respect to the film star.
Speaking at the India Today Conclave in Mumbai, Haasan said that they were like siblings who were "made to do romantic things on-screen".
"I met Sridevi when she was 15-16 years old. Sometimes in a family, a brother and sister, during Gokul Ashtami or Krishna Ashtami, are dressed as Lord Krishna and Radha. That is what I feel about Sridevi," he said.
"It sounds odd that she was like my sister considering that we were one of the most romantic pairs ever. That is what good acting is about," he added.
