The body of work she has left behind is incomparable with few actors in Indian cinematic history. She attained a pinnacle of glory truly destined for people who belong with the Gods. Let’s not trivialize her memory by tarnishing a true legend. #LetHerRestinPeace pic.twitter.com/yIO3LQUilO

The initial reports suggested that Sridevi died after a cardiac arrest. As soon as the reason was revealed, many netizens speculated how she could have been died due to side effects of cosmetic surgeries and anti-aging pills. And the forensic report, ruling out the cardiac arrest, led to more insensitive stories. As per latest reports, clearance has been provided and the family will soon receive her mortal remains and will be flown back to Mumbai tonight. Sridevi’s cremation is expected to take place tomorrow afternoon. What are your views on the same? Let us know in the comments below.
