Oscars' tribute to Sridevi: Twitter gets emotional
Oscar awards annually, pay homage to known legends of cinema, who left us before the ceremony with a beautiful and significant memorium.
One cannot be on that list, if they are not world renowned. Sridevi and Shashi Kapoor, Indian legendary actors, got a place in memorium and Indian social media, celebrated it.

Well, Indian Cinema is on the pinnacle of World recognition and we should celebrate it. Also, few took digs at Indian media for trying to find malice in their deaths and sell it as popular news.
The #Oscars paid tribute to #Sridevi while most media at home played malicious monsters post her death. Never forget how they ignored the legendary #OmPuri too, while he was remembered at Hollywood posthumously. We have failed ourselves as a cinema loving nation.
