DYK Sridevi once wore a burkha to watch Kamal’s film?

Sridevi was known for being a private person, especially with the media. She didn't easily open up and mostly kept her answers short, which could annoy interviewers. Earlier in her career, particularly in South Indian films, she avoided movie theaters, attending only private screenings. She even once wore a burkha to a movie theater. Although she later became more comfortable in public, she was very reserved in the past.
The Burkha Incident Revealed
Earlier, in an interview with Stardust magazine, Sridevi shared the story behind the time she wore a burkha to a movie theatre. As a famous actress in

South India

, she found it hard to live a normal life. While managing her career in both

Bollywood

and the South, she often stayed home in Madras watching TV instead of going to theatres. She rarely attended movie screenings, but once, after missing a trial show of a Kamal Haasan film, she decided to watch it in a theatre disguised in a burkha. She admitted feeling scared that people might still recognize her despite the disguise.
Sridevi’s Approach to Decision-Making
Throughout her acting career, Sridevi relied on her mother to make all important decisions for her. She trusted that her parents had greater wisdom and authority to guide her choices. However, once she became a mother herself, she was resolved to take control and make decisions independently for her own children.
