The curve of water as it froths from the Merlion’s mouth. The intricate swoops and dashes that make the Helix Bridge. The solemnity of the Cenotaph. The glimmering golden reflection of the Marina Bay Sands as it spreads over the water. Singapore is filled with iconic locations and images. Landmarks that transport you to the land, even if you have never been there before.
Well, if you haven’t, there’s a new reason to. Singapore is home to a new, beloved icon from India.
Wend your way to Sentosa Island, walk into the Madame Tussauds and direct your gaze to its newest and most glamorous occupant: Sridevi.
The first female superstar
Sridevi, born Shree Amma Yanger Ayyapan, was an Indian actress who worked in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam and Kannada film industries. She made her debut as a child artist at the age of 4 in the Tamil film Kandhan Karunai. Her first iconic role came with the film Moondru Mudichu as a young girl named Selvi. Over the years she established herself as an actress above par with movies like Lamhe, Moondram Pirai, Sadma, Mr. India, Kshana Kshanam, Pathinaru Vayathinile, Chaalbaaz, Nagina, Himmatwala and more. In the years before her death, she continued to excel, choosing iconic roles in movies like English Vinglish and Mom. In the course of her career Sridevi was the recipient of many awards, including the National Film Award, the Tamil Nadu Film Award, Filmfare Awards and more.
