She might not be with us today, but the legacy she left behind will always be. She lived, loved, and acted on her own terms. When actresses of her age used to avoid wearing whites on screen, Sridevi broke the notion as she embraced the white dupatta in Chandni (1989).

Sridevi's Chandni character is one of the most iconic characters in Bollywood. Her all-white ensemble in Chandni (1989) made everyone fall in love instantly. The white churidar was designed by costume designer Leena Daru. The ensemble was rounded off with subtle makeup and hair left open, creating an angelic, pristine effect.  From then on there was no looking back as Sridevi showcased her love for white at various occasions.
