Iconic beauty of Bollywood, actress Sridevi, was last seen onscreen in Mom (2017) playing the role of our very own Sajal Aly. Sajal had a small but heartbreaking message: ‘Lost my mom again.’
Sajal lost her real mother right after her film ‘Mom’ was released and Sridevi comforted her during the difficult time. An Indian newspaper reported: “Sri took Sajal under her wings after that tragedy and treated her like her own. After the tragedy, Sajal called Sri from her hometown in Pakistan and broke down, saying the whole experience was too close to her to be treated just as a film.”
“Normally, Sri doesn’t mix with her colleagues. She is a complete professional on the sets. But with Sajal, Sri’s equation was different,” it read.

During the release of the film, Sridevi got emotional talking about Sajal. “Sajal mera baccha I love you. I don’t know why I am becoming emotional. I miss you all. The way you have worked in the film, it is incredible. This film would have been incomplete without you. It is a special moment for us. We have been waiting for this. I miss you all,” she said.
