Basking in the praised lavished on her recent release, English Vinglish, Sridevi indulged in a frank and open tete-a-tete with Oye! FM Sabse Filmi RJ Sid K on his show Oye! Talkies.

When asked to name one new actress who had the potential to become a superstar, Sridevi named Deepika Padukone without any hesitation whatsoever. The diva's vote of confidence will surely make Deepika's critics look at her in new light. Sridevi also spoke highly about Vidya, Priyanka and Sonakshi and described them as impressive. Yet, Deepika got her vote.

Sridevi also spoke of how her family loves to pull her leg and how she still misses her childhood pet cat and prefers to stay away from all cats to keep her sorrow at bay.

Commenting on RGV's public admission of being envious of Boney Kapoor, Sri said it was one of the best compliments ever received.

Really?

I love Deepika, but I think she has a long way to go in terms of acting.

I'd say Anush comes the closet to that title.

However there will NEVER be another Sridevi, Madhuri, Juhi, Karisma, Kajol, Rani...etc.

Yeah, I'd say Anushka too. But Deepika is definitely gorgeous and she's got this Indian-looking face with such perfect features. And with Cocktail, I think she's finally learning what acting's all about.

Deepika is indeed progressing with her acting skills. Well she wasn't a bad actress in her first flick either. I like her and Anushka from the new lot
