Bollywood’s first female superstar actress Sridevi is not among us today. But the actress will always be alive among her fans through her strong films.

But people in Pakistan used to watch Sridevi’s movies secretly because during the rule of President General Zia-ul-Haq it was considered a crime to watch Indian movies in Pakistan. For this reason, if any person was caught watching Indian movies in Pakistan, then they also had to face punishment.
This has been disclosed by Wusatullah Khan, a former correspondent of BBC Pakistan, in his report. He wrote in his report that, when he was studying at Karachi University, he got a room in the university hostel after a year. Here he had pasted the posters of Sridevi.

Together they used to add money and bring VCRs on rent, in which they used to watch six movies simultaneously. Of these six films, only three were of Sridevi.
