KKN Gurugram Desk | Today marks the seventh death anniversary of Bollywood’s legendary actress, Sridevi. Even after so many years, she continues to live in the hearts of millions of fans across the world. Among these fans, one man stands out for his extraordinary devotion—O.P. Mehra, a resident of Daduni village in Madhya Pradesh, just 9 km from Sheopur.

Mehra’s story is unlike any other. His love and admiration for Sridevi transcended fanhood, as he considered her his wife in spirit. In 1986, he performed a symbolic marriage ceremony with Sridevi’s photograph, and to this day, he remains unmarried, honoring his lifelong commitment to her.

A Life Dedicated to Sridevi

O.P. Mehra’s devotion to Sridevi went beyond admiration. His connection to the actress was so deep that when she passed away on February 24, 2018, he performed all Hindu post-death rituals that a husband traditionally does for his deceased wife.

• Mundan (Head shaving ceremony): A ritual performed after the passing of a loved one.
• Shok Sabha (Memorial Gathering): He arranged a mourning event to pay homage to Sridevi.
• Terahvin (13th Day Rituals): He organized a community feast for 151 young girls, a tradition in Hindu customs.

Since then, every year on February 24, Mehra organizes a grand feast for the entire village and conducts a tribute event in Sridevi’s memory. A garland is placed on her photograph, and villagers observe a moment of silence to honor the actress.

• His family tried to convince him to marry in real life, but he never wavered in his commitment to Sridevi.
• Even after receiving criticism and ridicule from some people, he continues to honor Sridevi’s memory every year.
