Legendary screen icon Sridevi’s untimely death at the age of 54 in Dubai has shocked the Indian film fraternity. Sridevi was in Dubai to attend the wedding of her nephew, the actor Mohit Marwah, and had stayed behind after the return of her husband Boney Kapoor and her daughter Khushi.
The tributes poured in, from collaborators and filmmakers to admirers of her acting and her work ethic.
I’m shocked and very disturbed. I’ve lost a dear friend and the industry has lost a true legend. My heart goes out to her family and friends. I feel the pain with them #RIPSridev ... you will be missed.

Have witnessed Sridevi's life from an adolescent teenager to the magnificeint lady she became. Her stardom was well deserved. Many happy moments with her flash through my mind including the last time I met her. Sadma's lullaby haunts me now. We'll miss her
