Sridevi, a legacy in one name, left for her heavenly abode on Feb 24, 2018, leaving fans, family and the entire nation in a state of shock. The legendry actress died of accidental drowning in Dubai. She was in the UAE along with family to attend nephew Mohit Marwah’s wedding. It’s been a year to the tragedy and to observe her first death anniversary, Boney Kapoor is auctioning the late actress’ beloved kota saree on a Chennai-based online platform, Parisena.

The proceeds of this auction will be donated to Concern India Foundation. The auction, which started at a bidding price of Rs 40, 000 is still going on and is currently at a bidding price of Rs 1,25,000.

 As we all know, Sridevi loved wearing sarees. In fact, she was one of the few actresses in Bollywood, who carried the drape with so much grace and poise. Describing the actress’ particular Kota saree, the official website writes, "Sridevi's style has evolved since her early days in the film industry. But, the six yards has been a constant reminder of her roots. Being born in a South-Indian household, the actress has worn saris as a badge of her identity and has always infused a sense of unique charisma into its pleats."
