The Greatest! [Filmfare, 1990 August]

Filmfare ran a special cover story celebrating the megastar. A smiling Sridevi in baby pink appeared on its solo cover with the tagline, "The Greatest!". The magazine gushed:

"Her position at box-office is unrivalled. 'No actress in the last two decades has brought so much verve and vitality on the screen,' say her directors."

So, when quizzed about competition, she replied in a tone laced with both vindication and vanity: "Where are the rivals? There can be rivalry only between two equals. My only rival at the moment is Sridevi. I am constantly trying to upstage her. I am doing it to the point of obsession."
