Mumbai: Superstar Sridevi, 54, passed away in Dubai, plunging the entire country into a pall of gloom as her fans and admirers expressed shock and disbelief. The actress breathed her last on Saturday night at around 11 pm. She was rushed to the nearby Rashid Hospital but pronounced dead on admission.
In a moving gesture, Indian industrial magnate Anil Ambani has sent an aircraft to Dubai to bring back Bollywood actor Sridevi Kapoor's mortal remains to India on Sunday, sources said.
The 13seater private jet, (Embraer135BJ) belonging to Reliance Transport & Travel Ltd, left Mumbai for Dubai around 1.30pm on Sunday. "It is expected to return with the body and the immediate bereaved family members late tonight," the sources added.
The funeral is likely to take place on Monday, although there is no word from the family on this so far. Sridevi was in Dubai to attend the marriage function of actress Sonam Kapoor's cousin Mohit Marwah, along with husband Boney Kapoor and younger daughter Khushi.
She exuded elegance in her appearances -- photos and videos that were now being shared on social media as her "last". Confirming the news of her death, Sridevi's brother-in-law and actor Sanjay Kapoor, said: "Yes, it is true." The Indian Embassy in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Indian Consulate in Dubai were assisting the family to expedite the process to bringing her body to India as soon as possible.
The actress is remembered for her performance in some of the iconic Bollywood films like ‘Mr India’, ‘Nagina’, ‘Sadma’, ‘ChalBaaz’, ‘Chandni’, ‘Khuda Gawah’, among many others in different Indian languages. The Padma Shri recipient, who made a comeback to Bollywood in 2012 with ‘English Vinglish’ after a long break of 15 years, was last seen in ‘Mom’ in 2017.
Apparently having a premonition, Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Sridevi's co-star in half a dozen films, including ‘Khuda Gawah’ had tweeted at 1.15 am on Saturday: "I don't know, but I feel a strange sense of unease." The untimely death of the veteran actress has left the country shocked. President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi mourned her demise.
Southern movie stars and politicians Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan also expressed disbelief. Legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar, who has sung for Sridevi in 20 films had no words to express her shock. Autopsy complete Meanwhile, reports say that the autopsy has been completed and her body would be flown back to India on Monday.
