Mumbai: Having worked in a number of films with Sridevi, such as ‘Lamhe’, ‘Chandni’, ‘Laadla’ and ‘Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja’, Anupam Kher developed a strong rapport and friendship with the queen of hearts.
No wonder Kher was heartbroken on hearing about the news of Sridevi’s death in 2018.
Five years down the line, Kher shared a funny April Fool’s Day story from his ‘innocent days’, when he posed as Sridevi’s sister for a photoshoot.
“This is ME on the cover of @CineBlitz magazine. It was an April fool issue dated April 1st 1991. The pic and the story along with it had created a sensation. #MickyContractor did the make up and ace photographer #GautamRajadhyaksha clicked the pic. Those were the innocent days of cinema,” Kher tweeted along with the picture.

Some credited the make-up artist.
“Wow! Credit to Mickey Contractor make up. Yes those days were truly innocent. Nowadays such a cover could attract banning of the magazine and hatred for the artists,” read one post.
