Sridevi's awesomeness can be measured in many ways, including this one - her ability to pull off a prank (Bollywood scriptwriters love pranks, don't you know) and still be adorable where anyone else in her place would just be annoying. She's shown us how to set people right, get what you want or just add spice to your love life (quite literally). And she does all this in the manner of a magician pulling a rabbit out of the hat.
Hail, Sridevi. Sorry Mogambo, but even you've got to admit it's she who deserves the hailing. Not convinced? We offer, as evidence, these five Sridevi pranks. Warning - unless you are a screen goddess, don't try these at home.
