‘We were made to do these romantic things...’: When Kamal Haasan revealed he and Sridevi were siblings

As a passionate admirer of the magical duo that was Kamal Haasan and Sridevi, I find myself captivated by their extraordinary bond that transcended the boundaries of the silver screen. Their camaraderie was not just confined to the reel world; it was as real as the air we breathe, a bond forged over shared laughter, tears, and growing up together like siblings.

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but reminisce about the unparalleled magic of Kamal Haasan and Sridevi on the silver screen. Their partnership in some of Bollywood’s all-time classic hits was nothing short of extraordinary. Yet, it’s fascinating to know that off-screen, they were more like siblings who shared laughter when called upon to portray romantic scenes.

In 2018 at the India Today Conclave in Mumbai, Kamal Haasan shared heartwarming memories of his dear co-star, Sridevi. He revealed previously undisclosed details about their very close relationship, which was so strong that they often referred to each other as siblings. Haasan praised Sridevi as a true icon for the people, embodying ideal qualities.

As a devoted follower of their journey, I can’t help but reminisce about my first encounter with Sridevi when she was around 15 or 16. We were both cast in the same movie, initially as a screen pair, but over time, our bond deepened to resemble that of siblings. We attended the same school and grew up side by side, sharing memories and experiences that only brothers and sisters share. In essence, I would say we were classmates, but the truth is far more profound; we were essentially siblings in every sense of the word.

Continuing with the disclosures, the actor from Vishwaroopam shared an amusing detail: since they had a strong bond behind the camera, it became a source of laughter when they had to act out romantic scenes in front of it.

Actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan expressed, “Engaging in romantic acts, which we once found amusing, feels as if we were from the same family. It’s similar to losing a kin for me.

Back in the day, little did I know that my favorite star, Kamal Haasan, played a pivotal role in catapulting Sridevi into stardom! It was during a fascinating chat when the superstar disclosed this tidbit. Apparently, he was tasked with helping her find her feet in acting, as he had attended some classes before. Though our paths diverged over time, that’s how Kamal became instrumental in shaping Sridevi’s career!

In a revealing moment, the Tamil film icon disclosed that Sridevi would skillfully adapt and rework everything he imparted regarding acting. Furthermore, he divulged that she would address him with utmost respect, using the title ‘sir’.

For those unfamiliar, the acting duo Kamal Haasan and Sridevi shared the screen in approximately 27 films. Among these collaborations are timeless classics such as Sadma, Kuttavum Sikshayum, Apoorva Raagangal, Meendum Kokila, and more.
