Sridevi started acting when she was four years old. She then acted in many South Indian films as a child artist. She never got to know what a real childhood is. She never had time to even have a formal education or to know what it was to have fun with friends in school.

Her parents wanted her to act in movies and earn money for the family and yet they were extremely conservative. They never let her mix with people of her own age. She was never allowed to attend any party or enjoy with other young people.

Due to lack of formal education she could not speak English properly. This kept her at the receiving end of jokes from the film industry and media, almost like her character from English Vinglish. She did not even know Hindi when she first came to Mumbai. All her early films were dubbed.

Her language problem along with the forced isolation since childhood made her shy and introvert in real life. Maybe she was conscious about all her shortcomings. And preferred to be alone, away from the crowd.

She was a lonely child and then a lonely young woman.
