Sridevi who sprung back into action with her comeback movie English Vinglish last September, has not looked back since. After receiving accolades for her performance in the movie, Sri has now landed another feather in her cap.
As the first batch of 2013's Padma honors rolled out, Sridevi was honored with the Padma Shri and Sharmila Tagore, the Padma Bhushan. Cricketer Rahul Dravid was also one of the recipients of the prestigious Padma Bhushan. They received the honor from President Pranab Mukherjee at a ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhawan's Darbar Hall.
When the Padma winners were announced, Sri had mentioned that she was thrilled. "I don't know what I did to deserve it. But I must have done something right to be honoured by our government" she had said in an interview.
Previously, Saif Ali Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Madhuri Dixit, Kajol and many other B-town celebrities have received this honour.
