The death mystery of legendary actress Sridevi is yet-to-be-solved and the investigation is progressing at a brisk speed in Dubai.
Interestingly, Sridevi's personal makeup man Subhash Shinde, who was very close to her was reportedly along with her just a day before she passed away in Dubai.
And now, Three after Sridevi's demise, her makeup man finally speaks to media.
"I still cannot believe she is no more. I was there in Dubai with her for her make-up at Mohit Marwah's (her nephew) marriage. She was looking so pretty, happy and bright as ever. I came back two days ago, and on Saturday late night the news started coming in (about her death). I am still in shock".
"She was one of the icons with so much warmth and positivity. I started working with her after 'English Vinglish' released (2012). She always treated, all of us, whether make-up artistes, dress people, everyone... like a family. We were one unit."
"She had a great sense of colours and shades. There is an art of combining shades that complement the entire attire. She knew it right, I rather learnt it from her. She had a strong sense of aesthetics,". The colour, ornaments, even the size of her bindi, she had an eye for detailing."
"I remember during the shooting of her Tamil film 'Puli', she was supposed to wear heavy make-up. She never threw any tantrums, was always patient and cooperative with us even though the process would be time-consuming," recalled Shinde.
"I won't say she was a perfectionist, but the fact is that she exemplifies excellence; that comes with perfection. So yes, perfection is the word to define it." Shinde said.
