Priyanka Chopra Shares Sridevi Biography Update
Priyanka Chopra took to her Instagram Stories to share the cover of the upcoming biography, titled ‘Empress – The Definitive Biography of Sridevi’.
Sharing the book cover, Priyanka wrote, “The one and only. You are so missed. Happy heavenly birthday #Sridevi #Empress….coming soon.”
The post quickly caught attention as fans got another glimpse of the long-awaited book chronicling Sridevi’s remarkable journey.

Boney Kapoor Reshares Priyanka Chopra’s Post
Sridevi’s husband and filmmaker Boney Kapoor also reshared Priyanka Chopra’s post on his Instagram Stories.
The gesture added significance to the update, particularly because the biography is expected to explore both Sridevi’s extraordinary professional career and the personal journey behind her public image.
The actress had a career spanning several decades and worked across multiple Indian film industries before becoming one of the biggest female stars of her generation.
What Is Sridevi’s Biography About?
The biography has been in development for several years.
In 2023, Westland Books announced an official biography of Sridevi titled ‘Sridevi: The Life of a Legend’. The book is written by debut author Dhiraj Kumar and is expected to chronicle the actress’s life, career, achievements and legacy.
The book aims to look beyond Sridevi’s superstar image and explore the different phases of her journey, including her rise as a child artist, her emergence as a leading actress and her position as one of Indian cinema’s most celebrated performers.
Boney Kapoor Had Earlier Spoken About The Author
When the biography was announced, Boney Kapoor spoke about Dhiraj Kumar and his connection with the late actress.
According to the earlier announcement, Kumar was someone Sridevi considered part of her family. Kapoor also described him as a researcher, writer and columnist who had spent considerable time understanding Sridevi’s life and career.
The biography is therefore expected to offer readers a detailed account of the actress’s professional achievements as well as aspects of her personal life.
