Veteran actress Sridevi’s funeral pyre has been lit,
surrounded by a grieving Kapoor family and members of the film fraternity.
Superstar Amitabh Bachchan, who was the first to hint
about Sridevi’s demise, was one of the early entrants at the Pawan Hans
Crematorium.

Randhir and Rajeev Kapoor and Dia Mirza among others.
Sridevi made her final journey from the Celebration
Sports Club to the Pawan Hans Crematorium, in a flower laden truck. Boney,

the decorated carrier.
She was decked up in a red and gold kanjeevaram saree,
with elaborate traditional jewellery and make-up.

And with the lighting of the funeral pyre, a glorious era
in Indian cinema comes to an end. Though the Seema of Mr India, Pooja/Pallavi
of Lamhe, Kaajal of Judaai and Bollywood’s beloved Chandni, who lit up the
lives of millions of her fans, will continue to live on.
