Juhi Chawla Gives The "Queen of Comedy" Crown to Sridevi

Bollywood's legendary First Lady of Funny, Juhi Chawla (once referred to by Shah Rukh Khan as "India's finest comic actress EVER"), expresses her admiration for the comedy stylings of Sridevi, proclaiming that Sri's comic timing and facial expressions outrank even her own in films like "Chaalbaaz" and "Chandni." This is during the Sydney press junket for her recent release "I Am" which co-stars Manisha Koirala.

Totally agree with Juhi Chawla. She is my second favorite after Sridevi in comedy. Juhi is a die hard fan of Sridevi and that just shows when she mentions Sridevi's name.

She is lovely. So genuine!

loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee sri devi <3

Nobody should have any doubt whatsoever regarding Srdevi's comic timing after watching the film Chaalbaaz. She is absolutely perfect. Even in Roop Ki rani... she is brilliant. She is one and only actress in my opinion who could do brilliant comedy. No doubt whatsoever and Juhi ia bsolutely right. Sri is way way better than her in comedy.

This is why I say every now n then that unlike Madhuri, Sri grew as an actress only on the basis of her talent and beauty. Madhuri was supported by the Marathi PR that worked overnight to make her the NO.1. It was Madhuri's luck that she got recognition when private TV channels started coming in in a revolutionary way. It only added to her PR as she used every medium to promote herself and in some cases even maligning Sri's image indirectly, courtesy her secretary rikkunath.

@PrinceKhaalid1984 listen to Juhi, who she idolised and emulated and learned from, certainly its not from madhuri. Its also really sweet as juhi came to hindi films roughly the same era as sri.

[chof0319]

Totally honest, I agree completely with her. Sridevi started of the female comedy and inspired many actresses like Juhi to learn and emulate her.

@PrinceKhaalid1984 I think sridevi could even keep a straight face and make you laff which juhi lacked. She had to make funny faces to make one laff.

Sridevi was a complete actress.

[errolmiranda]

Am glad Juhi accepts Sridevi being better !

Because the fact is that Sridevi could be animated and even keep a straight face and make you laff.

Juhi was brilliant but always had to make funny faces to make one laff.

Juhi was brilliant but in comic timing no one takes the cake but SRIDEVI!

And the edge Sridevi has is that she had a more voluptuous body and better dramatic skills than Juhi.

[zoom2omer]

[PrinceKhaalid1984]
