‘Mom’ is 300th film of Sridevi. It is thriller film which is directed by Ravi Udyawarand produced by Boney Kapoor, Sunil Manchanda, Mukesh Talreja, Naresh Agarwal and Gautam Jain. The film also stars Akshaye Khanna, Abhimanyu Singh, Sajal Ali and Adnan Siddiqui in lead roles, with Nawazuddin Siddiqui in a special appearance.
The film opened to positive feedback from both the audiences and critics alike.
Recently, Sridevi spoke about the film and what it was like shooting for it. While talking about the same, the actress got emotional and teary-eyed when she spoke about Pakistani artist Adnan Siddiqui who plays her husband in the film and Sajal Ali who plays her daughter.
When it came to talking about these two actors, Sridevi who was almost on the verge crying added, “I really miss you all, the way you all have worked in this film is beyond compare. I can’t even imagine this film without you all. It is a very special moment for us; we have been waiting for this so much. All the best and see you soon.”
Pakistani actress Sajal Ali touched by Sridevi’s such gesture. The actress shares the video on her Instagram account with the caption “This was actually a surprise to me yesterday. I felt like she was there throughout. I couldn’t hold back myself from crying. I am out of words. #iloveyoushrimama @sridevi.kapoor”

During the shooting of ‘MOM’, Sridevi got so close to Sajal that she is almost like the third adopted daughter in the Kapoor family. A source very close to the film says, “Normally, Sri doesn’t mix with her colleagues. She is a complete professional on the sets. But with Sajal, Sri’s equation was different.” The Pakistani actress calls Sridevi as ‘Shrimama’.

There is a reason behind Sri and Sajal’s bond. “Sajal was very close to her mother, who she lost recently. It shattered the young girl. Sri took Sajal under her wings after that tragedy and treated her like her own. After the tragedy, Sajal called Sri from her hometown in Pakistan and broke down, saying the whole experience was too close to her to be treated just as a film,” says the source.
