Sridevi, one of the most notable actresses of Bollywood, passed away in the wee hours of Sunday morning, Indian media reported, citing a massive heart attack as the cause of her death. She was 55.
The actress was in Dubai with her family, including husband Boney Kapoor and daughters Khushi and Janhavi, to attend a wedding.
Sridevi made her Bollywood debut in 1978 with film Solwan Sawan and shot to fame after appearing in Himmatwala.
She also starred in other major hits such as Kadam, Tohfa, Maqsad, Masterji, Nazrana, Mr. India, Waqt Ki Awaz, Chandni, Sadma, Nagina, Chaalbaaz, Lamhe, Khuda Gawah, Gumrah, Laadla, and Judaai.
Condolences start pouring in
"I have no words. Condolences to everyone who loved #Sridevi . A dark day . RIP," Priyanka Chopra wrote on Twitter.
"An amazing talent and my favourite performer passes on. A tremendous loss to the industry," wrote a "shocked and devastated" Jaaved Jaaferi.
Neha Dhupia said, "we just lost our finest" and that Sridevi went away "way too soon".
Jacqueline Fernandez called her "an absolute icon".
"I'm in shock," commented Armeena Khan.
Journalist Wajahat Ali, however, wrote about how Sridevi and her acting resonated with "an entire generation".
"The loss of #Sridevi is a big deal for Bollywood but also an entire generation, like mine, that grew up with her movies. She went supernova in the 80s.
"She had charm, personality, wit and range. MR INDIA remains a classic. So sad that she passed so young," he wrote.
