Neeta Lulla about Sridevi

Sridevi asked Neeta Lulla to send her a costume of a particular shade of white for an international stage show. Given the time crunch, Neeta mailed her a tone of white that looked almost similar to what the actress had specified. The designer shares that what happened next exemplified how Sridevi's wisdom extended beyond just acting:

''On coming back, she told me that she knew I had sent her a different shade and explained that it did not have the same luminous effect under stage lights that she had wanted to create. I realised that day that she knew the tiniest details about her job. Sri had an unbelievable sense of palette. She would pick up a dry leaf and tell me that she wanted that she wanted that shade. She understood how lighter and darker colours worked, which hues had a slimming effect. She would combine shades like orange with pink or lime green with yellow. There are so many things about fashion that the industry has learnt from her, like how to appear great in every frame.''
