On February 24, Bollywood icon Sridevi passed away in Dubai, leaving fans and members of the film fraternity shocked and devasted. Although few days have passed since then, people are still finding it hard to cope with the loss of their beloved actor. Sridevi, who was often hailed as the first female superstar worked in a wide range of films like Lamhe, Chaalbaaz, Mr India and Sadma, essayed several enduring characters over her career. And while there has been an outpouring of grief both online and offline, Amul too paid tribute to the actor in its own true inimitable style. It featured the actor in her different on-screen avatars and, playing on the name of her 1991 film Lamhe, tweeted “Woh Lamhe hum hamesha yaad rakhenge…” Translated in English it means that we will always remember those moments.
Actress Sridevi was in Dubai attending the marriage of nephew actor Mohit Marwah when the untoward incident took place. The entire Kapoor family including Anil Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor were a part of the wedding in Dubai. Sridevi passed away on Saturday and her death probe ended on Tuesday following which her body was flown back to India in a chartered aircraft. Sridevi’s body has been kept in Celebration Sports Club for public viewing. Sridevi’s last rites are expected to be held later in the afternoon today. She will be cremated with state honours at the Vile Parle Seva Samaj Crematorium and Hindu Cemetery.
