ALL of Sridevi's Filmfare Covers from 1980s to 1990s

During her reign in Bollywood, Sridevi graced the cover of Filmfare many, many times from the early 1980s to the mid-1990s. Some of the best of the lot are here below. We are in the long and arduous process of collecting ALL Sridevi covers here.

Khalid Mohammed, ex-editor of Filmfare and screenwriter, was a self-professed fan and so was his predecessor Rauf Ahmed - and Pritish Nandy too. The magazine did quite a few interviews with Sridevi. He also kept the diva's fans happy by giving her sole space on the front page. Initially.

You can see the style evolution of not only Sridevi, but also of the magazine. As it changed size, font, colour, paper (from mat to gloss) and so on. 

In time, like Sridevi herself, the film magazine got polished with a glamorous, flawless sheen. Filmfare evolved, so did Sridevi, well, so did Bollywood. And like her box-office, the covers are a bit hit and miss...
