Blast from the past: Sridevi in a swimsuit
Here is a very rare capture of the very young Sridevi in a swimsuit. Looking at this photo made me realise, how our perception of beauty has changed over the years. Would any heroine of today dare look like this? There would bound to be a media attack on how fat she looks and she should never be doing this. Back in those days, voluptuousness was never an issue. I am guessing this trend changed after Miss Indias and Miss Universes started entering Bollywood. Thoughts?

Sridevi looks stunning.
My 2 cents
Sridevi is a beautiful and fine actress and looks decent in the pic above. In her time she had bigger fans than current heroines. If there was twitter, FB back in the 90s, you will know how powerful some of the older actresses were. If people [public and fans ] really cared about actual acting, the present actresses would not have fans.
If acting is only exposing and catering to the semi porn industry, Sridevi does not fit. Unfortunately she has been acting since the age of 5, and whether you like it or not, can act.
Current heroines are better at exposing, not acting.
South Indian actresses are 'fat' because they know looking womanly is a better value. Very few Indian men fantasize about skinny chicks, who look masculine, and awful in a saree. [preity zinta, kaifs, chopras, kareena K, etc. no boobs, no butt=bad saree hanger]
South Indians who can act:
Vyjayanti Mala Bali, Waheeda Rehman, Zareena Wahab, Rekha, Sridevi, Genelia, Vidya Balan
South indians who are pretty but cant act:
Hema Malini, Shilpa Shetty, Aishwariya Rai, Ileana D Cruz, Asin, Suman, Shweta Menon, Deepika Padukone ....

Sri does not look fat. Her figure needs only needs toning.She comes from the 80's when actresses looked like real women with real bodies & not the synthetic , size 0, stick insects they are today. Any actress from that era looks FAT by today's standards....Dimple,Poonam Dhillon ,Madhuri, Amrita Singh,Kimi Katkar & all. But they are all beautiful women unlike our modern mass produced factory heroines where they all look the same.
This is from Himmatwala... Here she was named Thunder Thighs....
There will be argument whether she is fat or not fat.. Thats normal as people have different opinions.
But no body can argue about the fact that this lady was a true volcano of talent that stormed the country with her appeal and screen presence.
Perhaps she is the only actress beside Hema Malini and Meena Kumari who looked so beautiful even when she was over weight.
Look at her in the movie Sherni (1988) and specifically in the song Tera sang milla where she has the orange saree on. She is Sooooooo beautiful
i think she looks perfectly fine - healthy weight and figure. as you said, voluptuous. she does not look fat or "plump" from any angle.
Shri has nice proportion of body (look at her legs, they are so long, and she bare foot) , doe snot matter how fat is she, she looks nice, but the pose is bit awkward, that time we have Zeenat Aman also with fabulous body.
@Fiza_Khan I used the word "Eww" because I believe if someone had a body like that, the shouldn't have worn such an outfit which instead of valorising their body, looks kinda tacky on them.
Btw, with my first comment, I was trying to sound funny but many ppl took it the wrong way. There was nothing mean about it :)
Last but not least, i realised that the same persons who are praising Sridevi on this post, are actually the ones bashing Zareen Khan for being plump. Personally, I think Zareen is super hot!
Thunder thighs.
Sridevi is an ACTRESS not a starved stick thin model.Actresses then didn't need to show their ass & abs to become a superstar,acting talent was enough. The actresses today prance around half-naked with expressionless faces,Sridevi could give them a run for their money anyday.Only Vidya has guts to be comfortable in her own skin & still give the other barbie dolls a run for their money. Even in the west voluptous women like Kate Winslet & Meryl Streep are considered beautiful & wholesome. Truth is real women like Sridevi,Vidya,Kate & Meryl can look however they want,without having dimensions of a barbie doll & still win ppl's heart.
@Bipasha Fan, I have always loved your posts, comments and I always agree with you.
But not in this one, the word "eww" made it sound really mean. I agree that Bipasha Basu & PC is really fit (not katrina, coz she had surgeries before). I also agree with you that Sridevi acts & dances a lot better than them, she is A LOT more talented & intelligent. Furthermore, Sridevi "lookwise" is also VERY beautiful :), her eyes speak a lot, I am sure PC does not have that..Bipasha Basu has beautiful eyes but not as pretty as Sridevi's... Being curvy is not bad! But I will say..when you reveal..you make sure you are fit enough!... On that time body was not a matter..But if you look at Sridevi now!..she is actually very fit these days.
PV..PLEASE POST THIS :@
so many comments..just make sri even more popular today then her hey days...
She's a woman, a real woman with curves.
just bc more and more ppl neglect to take care of their bodies as they get older it doesn't make it the norm or right. she looks unhealthy and fat- that's a fact, i bet if u took her body fat percentage it'd be above 25% (which is considered unhealthy). even in the early 20s acctresses were taking care of themselves in hollywood doing simple exercises like walking and eating right. but in bollywood, the fitness craze had yet to catch up then. I'm glad that today's heroines r toned and fit, they're not anorexic . They inspire others to stay fit too, they're a good example for the future.
PS have u notices that older indian ppl gain weight so suddenly after they hit 30, cus they eat fried and sugary foods more than the rec dose which leads to more heart attacks. some of them don't even understand the concept of exercise.
I can't believe you are considering Sridevi "fat" in this picture!! Care to tell us what part of her is fat????
she was a bit fat not so much but she was fat but all south indian actresses are fat anyways
Sreedevi has got the best figure in India and still today she has got the best body.Sreedevi is the real and the first 'Miss Thunder Thighs'.
Sridevi is the Hottest actress.
they certainly didnt know how to pose back then..but this lady has talent y'all...so no need to pose in a swinsuit!
MISS THUNDER THIGHTS....she got this nickname after appearing in this swimsuit...She made thunder things look sexy as described by many past magazine articles! :D
calm down y'all. She's not that big but comparing her to normal girls is not ok. shes a FRIGGIN movie star, IT IS HER JOB to look toned n good physically as much as acting. the camera will pick up any saggy loose flaws n if u dont see it here then u're totally in denial.
Whoa ! M totally appalled by some of the comments made here. As someone pointed out, that yes she definitely does not look toned.. But does that make her FAT and UNHEALTHY?? Reality check people...Real women who are not part of the glamor industry have C-U-R-V-E-S .. And that's what this gorgeous actress has..Frankly speaking I prefer her to look like this (naturally beautiful) than what she has become today (Plastic).
She looks very cute, and I don't think she looks fat. It's just that different eras have different ideals of what is good looking or attractive. Nowadays taller and slimmer is in fashion. Hair is shorter, eyes are lighter, and maybe what is considered attractive today would have been considered ugly 20 years back. Once upon a time we had topless pics of Anil Kapoor and Akshay Kumar with hair on their backs and chests that looked like carpets! Nowadays would they flaunt that? No way! :)
I think Sridevi looks fine. Everyone (even super skinny size 00 girls) look like this in clothes/bathing suits that are too tight. Kim Kardashian and all other hollywood (as well as bollywood) celebrities are all Photoshop'd these days to look skinnier than they are. Anyone with Photoshop can make her skinny/fit in this picture in 5 minutes.

Just so you know I am a healthy and tall Punjabi girl. If being ''HEALTHY'' means PLUMP to you Bipasha Fan, then you're screwed for life. I am not going to go around explaining what is healthy to you, pick up a book if you haven't ever or talk to a doctor (maybe you need help).
Are you kidding me? Don't feel sorry for me. I rather look voluptuous (i wish) over looking like a skeletor or HE-MAN (in your case and taste lol) or Coat Rack any day. Thanks for your concern :)
THUNDER THIGHS
ur right about when more and more miss indias started getting into bollywood...because most of them were models..and also they mold them to meet the status quo of international standards which of course dont match match
Sridevi was always known as "Ms. Thunder Thighs". She is not fat but has big thighs. If somebody is fat they have double chin, pooch, fat tummy etc.
shri looks so cute in this swim suit.such a cutie pie.common ppl she looks true indian beauty.not like sukki haddi.
@ Bipasha-Fan in my opinion sri devi can
give these actress run for money any day when it comes to
sexiness and fitness even today
and this can be very subjective i guess some people find vidya the fittest
some found kareena in tashan fittest so each to its own :)
@numan I'm not talking abt talent, dance or even sexiness. Well, for me Bipasha is definitely the sexiest but Sridevi is a way better actor n dancer than her! Nevertheless, I'm talking about fitness. N it's a fact that Bips, PC n Kat are the fittest actresses in B-town today :)
