Kajol writes foreword of 'Sridevi: The Eternal Screen Goddess'

New Delhi: Actor Kajol has penned the foreword of the much-awaited book on the life and times of cinema legend Sridevi, announced the publishing house.

The book, 'Sridevi: The Eternal Screen Goddess', written by author-screenwriter Satyarth Nayak and is approved by the late actor's producer husband Boney Kapoor.

Kajol said, she hopes Sridevi fans across the world will embrace the book which charts her five-decade long journey from child star to megastar.

"I have grown up watching Sridevi's super-stardom on film-sets and her magic on the big screen. She is an institution of acting and will forever remain my most favourite icon," Kajol said in a statement.

Nayak said that Kajol is the perfect choice to write the foreword.

"Kajol is an industry kid and has had first-hand experience of Sridevi's glory in the 80s and 90s. Also as one of our finest artistes, Kajol has keenly observed and emulated Sridevi over the years."

Sridevi passed away at the age of 54 in February 2018 in Dubai.
