Did Kamal Haasan Almost Marry Sridevi?
Sridevi’s mother chose her to marry Kamal Haasan too. Haasan recited “The 28 Avatars of Sridevi” during her burial, revealing her numerous incarnations. Kamal Haasan said he and Sridevi’s mother urged him to marry her. The actor said he would never marry Sridevi since he considered her family. He genuinely said:
“Sridevi’s mom and I joked that I should marry her daughter because we spoke so much about suitors. I’d respond, “If that happens, Sri and I would certainly irritate each other to the point that I’ll have to send her home the following day.”
The First Meet
Kamal Haasan met 13-year-old Sridevi on the set of Moondru Mudichu in 1976. Haasan, the film’s actor and assistant director, ran rehearsals with the actress when she began out. They became fast friends. As their films included many love scenes, many assumed Kamal and Sridevi were more than just co-stars. Despite this, Haasan often denied rumors of his sexual involvement with Sridevi. Sridevi called Kamal “Sir” till her death.
Kamal Haasan’s personal life has long been rumored. After ten years, he divorced Vani Ganpathi to marry actress Sarika. Kamal told Pinkvilla, “Never supported marriage. I don’t believe in societal pressure, yet people do marry. I regret marrying. I married for the convenience of my women. I was too weak to force Vani to move in with me. Social standards prevented Sarika and me from booking a hotel together even after having two kids.”
