Acting Career
Shree Amma Yanger Ayyapan was born on August 13, 1963, in Sivakasi, Madras State, India. She started her acting career as a child actor in 1969. At four years old, she appeared in the movie “Thunaivan” by M.A. Thirumugham. At this time, she worked behind her birth name.
After she gained success, she changed the name to Sridevi Kapoor. During both the 1980s and 1990s, she closely collaborated on various projects with Kamal Hassan and Anil Kapoor. In the beginning of the 1990s, even Steven Spielberg took notice of her work.
He offered her a role in his iconic cult movie “Jurassic Park”. However, she turned down the role, as she believed it was not large enough for her.
More recently, she appeared in the Bollywood thriller film “Mom”, in 2017. This role gave her the Filmfare Award for Best Actress, as well as the Zee Cine Best Actress Award. Regarding previous awards and accomplishments, her work was rewarded for the roles in “English Vinglish”, “Laadla”, “Judaai”, “Kshana Kshanam”, “Sadma”, and “Chandni”
Her career is one of the most successful and awarded in Bollywood. Other than the aforementioned ones, she won Stardust Awards, NDTV Indian of the Year award, and Starviews Film Awards.
Back in 2012, Vuclip, a mobile research company, voted her the Most Admired Bollywood Actress. That same year, CNN IBN ranked her as the number 1 on the list of Best Bollywood Actresses.
Sridevi Kapoor Net Worth
At the time of her death in 2018, Sridevi Kapoor’s net worth was estimated to be around $35 million, combined with her husband’s net worth. She was married to Boney Kapoor, with whom she has two daughters, Jhanvi and Khushi.
