Sridevi`s sudden demise shocks nation |
Veteran actress Sridevi, 54, passed away in Dubai, engulfing India in a pall of gloom. From Indian stars to Indian political personalities to Pakistani icons, her fans and admirers expressed shock and disbelief. The Padma Shri recipient passed away in Dubai on Feb. 24 night. Sridevi was there to attend the marriage function of actress Sonam Kapoor`s cousin Mohit Marwah, along with husband Boney Kapoor and younger daughter Khushi. Her other daughter Janhvi stayed back reportedly due to work commitment towards her debut film "Dhadak." Born in Sivakasi in Tamil Nadu on August 13, 1963, Sridevi began her career at the age of four in the devotional film "Thunaivan." That marked the beginning of a journey in filmdom that saw her work across Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi productions, leading her to become one of the most formidable actresses of the 1980s and 1990s in Bollywood – in fact, the only female "superstar" the industry has seen. She is remembered for her performances in some of the iconic Bollywood films like "Mr. India," "Nagina," "Sadma," "ChalBaaz," "Chandni," "Khuda Gawah," among many others in different Indian languages.
