Sridevi's life wasn't as perfect as she it was portrayed in the media, says director Ram Gopal Varma, who worked with the late Sridevi in a number of films such as Great Robbery, Govindhaa Govindhaa and Hairaan.
On Tuesday, the director penned a letter entitled My Love Letter To Sridevi’s Fans where he spoke about the actress' apprehensions and insecurities. According to RGV, Sridevi's life is a classic case of how a celebrity’s actual life is completely different from how it's portrayed to the outside media.
"For many, Sridevi's life was perfect . Beautiful face, great talent, seemingly stable family with two beautiful daughters. From outside everything looked so enviable and desirable... But was Sridevi a very happy person and did she lead a very happy life?" the director wrote.
RGV says Sridevi's life changed after her father's death. From a free bird in the sky she became "like a bird in a cage due to her overprotective mother."
