A crystal-studded Michael Jackson

Actor Sridevi, who has recently turned into a painter, has ambitious plans of taking her passion forward.

DNA has learnt that Sridevi, who has been a big fan of Michael Jackson, has painted the late pop legend.

What’s interesting is that she has used costly crystals on her painting as sources who have seen it reveal that MJ’s gloves are studded with them.

We have also learnt that this painting is slated to travel the world with exhibitions in Dubai, Mumbai and London.

A close friend of the actor reveals, “Sridevi has fine-tuned herself to become a good painter and the art frat is sitting up and noticing her work.

She has got calls from many galleries not only in India but also abroad to hold her painting exhibition. There are also talks on if she wants to auction some of them to help the underprivileged.”

The informer adds, “The Michael Jackson that she has painted has got many galleries interested. It is a costly piece as high-end crystals are studded on the painting.

People think her painting Jackson is extremely timely. MJ is a legend and people will always lap up things about him. So, galleries feel that this painting that is done by a high profile celebrity can fetch a high price.

Sridevi will be doing shows in Dubai, then Mumbai and will round it off with London.”

Sridevi’s husband Boney Kapoor confirms, “It is true that we are going to exhibit the Michael Jackson painting done by my wife.

There is a huge exhibition that we have planned in Dubai that will most probably happen next month.

We are all excited with the response that it has already got from the fraternity.”
