In a move that is bound to make many Bollywood and south Indian films lovers happy, noted actresses Jaya Prada and Sridevi have finally let go of their infamous rivalry and seemed to have turned over a new (gorgeous) leaf.
According to media reports, Sridevi flew down to Hyderabad from Mumbai to attend Jaya Prada's son Siddarth and his bride Pravallika's wedding reception held on 30 November.
The actresses, who were at the peak of their careers in both Bollywood as well as south Indian cinema throughout the 1980s, were infamous for their reported rivalry, despite having acted in a slew of films together, such as, Tohfa (1984), Naya Kadam (1984), and Akhree Raasta (1986) among others.
