Sridevi in Judaai (1997): Working Mums: Rare pics of Sridevi with Urmila Matondkar and Anil Kapoor

From Rediff's feature on working mums.

Blessed with two beautiful daughters, Jhanvi and Khushi, Sridevi was a top star during her first pregnancy; no wonder when news spread that she's expecting, producers went into a tizzy. She did complete full portions of her husband Boney Kapoor's production, Judaai and refused to take on further work, in the wake of which she lost out on plum projects.

When she was carrying Khushi, 11 now, she had already taken a break from movies but nevertheless she would accompany Boney on his shoots, especially on Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai.

A heavily-pregnant Sridevi even helped her family move to a new bungalow at the time and actually supervised everything.

UPDATE: Sridevi, Urmila and Anil Kapoor, the cast of Judaai in publicity stills published in the local tabloids.

Sridevi, Anil Kapoor and Urmila Matondkar made Judaai so much fun to watch; an irrepressible soap opera on screen, a dramedy, a morality tale, leads with tinctures of unlikability (all three such flawed characters). Elevated by the talents of the lead cast, a pretty basic story-line and screenplay became high camp, farce - and yet so much fun. The movie made a an unexpected killing at the box-office back in 1997.
