Appearing and disappearing through swirling fog, she almost becomes an apparition inhabiting those ruins. She also turns into somewhat of an optical illusion in ‘ Bhooli Bisri Ek Kahani’. If she is arousing in ‘ Balma’, she is captivating in ‘ Aaj Kal Yaad Kuchh’. The actress also gets to display various shades in the chartbusting songs of Nagina. Although the blue eyes intensified Rajni’s aura, Saroj Khan reveals that the lenses would often turn her eyes blood red and yet she would keep filming without complain. This was the first time Sridevi experimented with contact lenses, and it would soon become a fad. Watch how she reacts to the strains of the tantrik’s been-her lids drooping, her eyes blue. While the Gothic setting and red glow create the ambience, it is the muted ecstasy on Rajni’s face, as she discards the human form, that invokes awe. She is equally spellbinding in the midnight scene where she morphs into her true self. Standing up to a thespian like Amrish Puri was no joke, and Sridevi does it with panache.

Filmmaker Harmesh Malhotra was running around with a script titled Nagina, revolving around the myth of an ichhadhari (shapeshifting) serpent. But the snakes could have well been a premonition-an omen for a film that would catapult her to another dizzying peak. Given that she was the numero uno star, there were perhaps foes aplenty. People tell me that dreaming of snakes means that you have a lot of enemies.’ Most of the time I dream of horrible things like ghosts, phantoms and snakes. In an interview with Cine Blitz in 1985, Sridevi had said: ‘I dream a lot, every night in fact.
