Surekha Sikri is a dazzling and delightful actress and someone who has always shone in whatever she has done. With the success of Badhaai Ho, it would be great to see her more often on the big screen!

In one of his statements in 2014, filmmaker Shyam Benegal said he wants to strangle the person who has coined the world parallel for cinema. And rightly so! This is a film industry and not a math class. Today, the lines between commercial and the so-called art-house cinema have blurred. Wish it never existed in the first place. And if it didn't, Surekha Sikri would have been written a lot more about.
Today, social media has helped people a lot to know more about this galvanising and gifted actor. With 2018's Badhaai Ho, where she played a cantankerous yet charming grandmother, she nearly stole the show from the other principal characters. It wasn't her reinvention, she was always a dynamic performer, it was the reinvention of the storytelling in Hindi Cinema. It was a bold move if not exactly a giant leap.
