Interested parties may check
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~sandych/sridevi.html and make up their own
minds.  Personally, I don't see that much of a resemblance.  To my eyes,
Kate *does* look a bit like a typical Indian actress, but ironically I
think she looks a little too exotic for them!  These days, Bollywood seems
to favor starlets who look as bland and Western as possible.

BTW, it seems that Sri Devi's most recent films are considered artistically
challenging but were commercial flops -- perhaps she's in her "Dreaming"
period?  :-)
