I was six years old. Nagina had just released. Our joint family of nine, plus a few neighbours, went to watch the 6 pm show. I was too young to have known who Sridevi was then, but after that movie, boy, did she get imprinted not just into my memory, but into my very existence, my system, my way of being," says Inderjit Nagi, creative and artistic consultant, who then recalls walking home through the lanes of Nasik, already behaving like the shape-shifting, blue-eyed 'Nagin' Sridevi played on screen. "In fact, the next day, I organised a little 'show' for the family. I made my brother and few cousins stand in a line, asking them to pretend like they were 'saperas' (snake charmers) and I danced on Main Teri Dushman, passing through their legs, hissing in-between like an angry snake and hitting them on their head to 'kill' them."

It's this crazy fandom and love for the actress that has prompted Nagi and partner, contemporary and graphic artist Syed Ali Arif, to publish a tribute coffee table book, With Love To Sridevi. The book, which is made up of posters and magazine cuttings that Arif had been collecting since he was younger, and odes in form of poetry, sketches or essays by other hard-core fans, is now seeking crowdfunding of Rs 2,00,000 on Wishberry. "This book is a work of love, so we are not even sure if we want to put a price to it, when it does get published. But the aim is to keep her memory alive. For example, when I was younger, I knew of Dilip Kumar because of my father's fascination for him. I want millenials to know how great she was. If we don't do it, who will?" says 40-year-old Arif.
