Watch: Pakistani actress Sajal Aly opens up about Sridevi’s death

Pakistani actress Sajal Aly, who has worked in Bollywood’s movie ‘Mom’ alongside the late legendary actress Sridevi, recently talked about the super star’s sudden demise and how she wanted to visit India to be with her family in their hard time.

Sajal was attending the Pakistan International Films Festival 2018 on Thursday and was part of a panel discussion alongside Indian actress Nandita Das and others, where the actress talked about the death of Sridevi and her own mother Firdous Aly who passed away a year ago.

The ‘O Rangreza’ actress expressed that she wanted to go to India not for work but to extend her support and love for the deceased actress’ daughters Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor. In a way, Sajal also criticized the ban on Pakistani actors visiting the country, as the actress added that Sridevi and especially her daughters called her many times when her own mother passed away and that she wanted to be there for them in their hard times as well.

Sajal also talked about how she was approached for the movie ‘Mom’ by Sridevi’s husband Boney Kapoor and that she thought someone was joking with her when the first call came and was taken in complete surprise.
