Sridevi was a diva, a fashion icon, and a star who, at some point, made some bold and fashionable choices in her movies. But she was also fond of her roots and celebrated every Indian festival with equal enthusiasm. One such special event was Karwa Chauth. During this festival, which celebrates the love of a married couple, the English Vinglish actress would mandatorily get mehendi on her hands and request the artist to pen the names of her family members, too.

Bollywood’s mehendi queen Veena Nagda was recently in an interview with Pinkvilla’s Hindi Rush wherein she recalled her experience of applying henna to Sridevi. While exclusively chatting with us, the artist mentioned that Sridevi would always get mehendi done for Karwa Chauth. “I will never forget her,” she said, adding that the late actress was keen on applying henna.

Recalling her days working with the Mom actress, Veena ji shared that the first time she decorated her hands was at Anil Kapoor and Sunita Kapoor’s house when they hosted everyone for the celebration. She further added that at that time, a four-year-old Janhvi Kapoor would sit next to her mother when she would get the designs done.
