Sridevi was one of the icons with so much warmth and positivity, says her make-up artist

Subhash Shinde, who was the make-up artist of the legendary actress at actor Mohit Marwah’s marriage in Dubai expressed that the actress had so much warmth and positivity. The actress always treated everyone on the sets and her make-up artists like family.


The make-up artist said, “I still cannot believe she is no more. I was there in Dubai with her for her make-up at Mohit Marwah’s (her nephew) marriage. She was looking so pretty, happy and bright as ever. I came back two days ago, and on Saturday late night, the news started coming in (about her death). I am still in shock.”


He further added, “She was one of the icons with so much warmth and positivity. I started working with her after ‘English Vinglish’ released (2012). She always treated, all of us, whether make-up artists, dress people, everyone... like a family. We were one unit.”


He also revealed that Sridevi was also a painter, “She had a great sense of colours and shades. There is an art of combining shades that complement the entire attire. She knew it right, I rather learned it from her. She had a strong sense of aesthetics.” He further added, “...The colour, ornaments, even the size of her bindi, she had an eye for detailing.”


The makeup artiste worked with Sridevi in films ‘Puli’ and ‘Mom’, “I remember during Puli, she was supposed to wear heavy make-up. She never threw any tantrums, was always patient and cooperative with us even though the process would be time-consuming. I won’t say she was a perfectionist, but the fact is that she exemplifies excellence; that comes with perfection. So yes, perfection is the word to define it.”
