Sridevi was undoubtedly one of the finest actresses of her generation. Considered to be a superhit and the highest-paid diva among all her contemporaries, she swooned millions of audiences worldwide with her pathbreaking performances. Be it serious and sombre roles, to the chirpy girl-next-door or even the romantic lady, there has been no end to Sridevi’s versatility. However, it took the 1989-film, Chandni, directed by Yash Chopra, which presented Sridevi in a never-seen-before avatar. However, do you know that the actress was actually not pleased with the pristine white outfits she wore for the most duration of the film? Well, scroll down to know more about it.
Sridevi was one such actress who brought a revolutionary change to the fashion game in the film industry. Her perfect blend of retro style statements with a hint of chic and modern palette was an instant success for the audience. And proof of the same was found with her all-white look in chiffon sarees in Yash Chopra’s film, Chandni. However, let us tell you that the diva didn’t like the idea of wearing only white outfits for the entire film, as she found it quite dull. However, it was Yash Chopra who convinced her to wear the same. In one of his earlier interview, which was later replayed on the Netflix documentary, The Romantics, Yash Chopra could be heard as saying:

“I wanted to dress her (Sridevi) most simply. Chandni should be pure innocence. Sridevi walked up to me and said, Yash ji, why this all white? This is so dull. I told her, I have faith in you as an actor, in your performance, if you have faith in me as a director, I like to present you as I want.”
