Sridevi's body to reach Mumbai today evening, funeral delayed

<p>Bollywood is a dazzling universe. The ultimate, definitive, never-land-of-happy-ever-after for the stressed-out junta, dreaming of everything exciting, glamorous and romantic. The stars that rule this empire are not humans, but gods and goddesses. They are not merely loved and admired but worshipped by their hysterical devotees. &nbsp;However, there is a flip-side too, a terrifying side that shows how cruel and insensitive these very devotees can be once, the star&rsquo;s sell-by-date arrives. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Suddenly, collective amnesia from the hydra-headed monster called audiences can play havoc, dumping the once revered deities with alarming speed and replacing them with the latest, younger, hotter and more desirable flavours of the day. &nbsp;Very few are remembered and hardly any saluted, once their golden days are over. As for considering them benchmarks and timeless icons, one can count on one&rsquo;s fingers how many stars fit that elusive slot.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sridevi, who died early Sunday in Dubai of cardiac arrest, must belong to that rare breed whom neither can chill nor rival steal. &nbsp;Her shocking and untimely demise at the young age of 54 is an irreparable loss to the industry and her zillion devotees. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Starting out at age 4 as a child-star and getting into the romantic mode at age of10-11, this amazing performer, blending irresistible oomph with mischief, only had to appear on the screen to light it up in matchless fashion. &nbsp;A hugely successful star across all the Southern states, Sridevi was Bollywood&rsquo;s first authentic female superstar. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Fact is she dominated the 80&rsquo;s when the action was the main draw and heroes were centre stage. Her astonishing performances in Mr. India, Chaalbaaz and Nagina wiped out the male lead good and proper! In all truth, till date, no one has been able to replicate her mass-draw with the audiences, trade and critics alike. &nbsp;The Chandni and Hawa-Hawai charmer who didn&rsquo;t know a word of Hindi when she entered Bollywood, only to race past earlier Southie heavies like Vyjantimala and Hema Malini, was truly something phenomenal.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Today, as we look back on her body of work, we are zonked! &nbsp;The diversity of roles, the depth and range across genres is the only one part of the story. &nbsp;The other is the astonishing ease and effortlessness with which she delivered her knock-out performances. &nbsp;Totally camera-friendly, uninhibited and spontaneous, a star is very difficult to locate, but Sridevi, time and again unleashed her brand of magic to mesmerise every viewer privileged to witness her chutzpah in action! &nbsp;Drama, romance, comedy, song-dance, she embraced the Bollywood template with a passion.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Finally coming to the point: &nbsp;What was so remarkable, special and exclusive that this amazingly shy, reticent and reserved person &ndash; off-screen &ndash; brought to the screen? &nbsp;What did Sridevi have that no other heroine did? &nbsp;</p>

<p>Renowned author and editor Rauf Ahmed believe &ldquo;it was sensuousness of a very special kind. &nbsp;No heroine before Sri ever let go in such un-inhibited fashion, in the dance numbers. &nbsp;You see the &#39;kaante nahin katte&#39; body language in Mr. India or the sizzling stuff in a Feroz Khan film - Har Kisiko - in Jaanbaaz, and it shakes you up! There is not one ounce of self-consciousness or vulgarity, only the wild abandon of romance. &nbsp;The super song-dance sequences in Chaalbaaz, Chandni and Lamhe too come into the reckoning. &nbsp;Like the legendary Garbo, she and the camera were magical soul-mates, lovers, eternally romancing each other in style. &nbsp;The moment the camera was off, she - amazingly &ndash; returned to her quiet, shy and reserved self.&rdquo; &nbsp;</p>

<p>Ahmed adds that beyond the sensuousness, Sri was also an unmatched talent in the area of versatility. &nbsp;&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t forget she started out with Jumping Jack Jeetu in pot-boilers like Himmatwala, Mawali, Justice Chowdhry, Tohfa etc. They were all films from the South and all very successful. &nbsp;They demanded a kind of loud and hammy-performance which the young aspirant pulled off admirably. &nbsp;A quick learner, she matured in her journey by maintaining an intelligent focus on what her directors wanted from her and how best she could deliver. &nbsp;Never judgemental, be it Yash Chopra&rsquo;s Lamhe and Chandni, Shekhar Kapoor&rsquo;s Mr. India and Joshilay or Pankaj Parashar&rsquo;s Chaalbaaz, she dazzled across all genres. &nbsp;Along the way, she also did a Sadma, inviting startled fans to wonder whether she was for real!&rdquo; &nbsp;</p>

<p>English-Vinglish, directed by Gauri Shinde was Sri&#39;s successful comeback film, putting it down to a talent that is &ldquo;instinctive, intuitive, spontaneous &ndash; a natural! &nbsp;It&rsquo;s a gift that cannot be acquired through training or whatever. &nbsp;You are blessed with it &ndash; or not. &nbsp;Period.&rdquo; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p>Today, as we bid farewell to this remarkable talent whose persona and work will always stay with us, one priceless line from one of her early interviews, resonates. &nbsp;I think it was with Vir Sanghvi. &nbsp;It reminded me so much of what the legendary Hollywood Director, Sydney Pollack, articulated so succinctly about the art of acting. &nbsp;He said &ldquo;Acting has nothing to do with intellectuality. &nbsp;An actor doesn&rsquo;t need to understand in a conventional way what he&rsquo;s doing. &nbsp;He has to just do it. &nbsp;It&rsquo;s critical to make a distinction between a performance that produces behaviour and one that offers intellectual understanding. &nbsp;All effective acting comes from wanting something. &nbsp;It&rsquo;s what you want that makes you do it, not what you think!&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>RIP Chandni. &nbsp;Thanks for the Lamhes spent with you. Now go, Hawa-Hawai to the lucky ones in the packed halls above.&nbsp;</p>

Sridevi had no history of heart ailment: Sanjay Kapoor

<p>Veteran Bollywood actress Sridevi, the iconic lady of Bollywood, passed away in Dubai after suffering a massive cardiac arrest. Sridevi was reported in Dubai with her entire family to attend her nephew Mohit Marwah&#39;s wedding. Her sudden death has not only brought the murk to her family or the newly wedded couple, but to the entire film industry and the nation.</p>

<p>&lsquo;She will never return&rsquo; surely disheartens us because this time the almighty won&rsquo;t permit the miracle. But I remember when in 1997 she went on a sabbatical, how rumours yelled out &lsquo;she will never return&rsquo;. Definitely film industry was dejected by noting seeing Sri around for a long stint.

Sridevi was among few divas to make a successful return to film industry after a 15 year long break.

Veteran Bollywood actress Sridevi, the iconic lady of Bollywood, passed away in Dubai after suffering a massive cardiac arrest. Sridevi was reported in Dubai with her entire family to attend her nephew Mohit Marwah's wedding. Her sudden death has not only brought the murk to her family or the newly wedded couple, but to the entire film industry and the nation. ‘She will never return’ surely disheartens us because this time the almighty won’t permit the miracle. But I remember when in 1997 she went on a sabbatical, how rumours yelled out ‘she will never return’. Definitely film industry was dejected by noting seeing Sri around for a long stint. However, surprising to all, Sridevi announced her come back after 15 years in 2011 with the same dazzling persona of hers. Although the entire nation was eager to blow whistles on ever-popular Sridevi, yet her comeback after a long-long hiatus was questionable because until then, no comeback was successful Sridevi’s comeback vehicle – English Vinglish – directed by Gauri Shinde revolved around a middle class women, famous for making ‘laddu’ (Indian sweet), but not good with speaking English. To feel acceped by her family, Sri learns English. This, not-so-glimmer- role but still a nuanced naïve performance marked a successful return.

Opinion: Sridevi's comeback with 'English Vinglish' was rare among Bollywood celebs

<p>This morning we all woke up to the shocking news of Sridevi&rsquo;s death. She was one of the most enduring and versatile actors of Bollywood. Sridevi made a comeback after a self-imposed sabbatical of many years when she went through the rigours of a somewhat controversial marriage to film director and producer, Boney Kapoor, followed by those child-bearing years. Indeed Sridevi&rsquo;s death at 54 has left many of us fans shell-shocked. You don&rsquo;t die at that age if you are slim and trim and have an evidently well-maintained figure. But perhaps that&rsquo;s the problem &ndash; having to look your best always for the papparazi and for Bollywood so you can continue to act, for acting itself becomes the adrenalin that pumps up the &lsquo;stars&rsquo; and their glitzy lives. But who knows the stress of living on a circumscribed diet and subjecting the body to so many make-overs to not look one&rsquo;s age. &nbsp;</p>

<p>They say Bollywood unites India like nothing else does. For someone, India&rsquo;s North East where Hollywood movies were a staple, those of us who watched &lsquo;Hindi&rsquo; movies (the term Bollywood had not yet gained currency then) were looked askance by our peers in school. And if you studied in an English medium school then you don&rsquo;t discuss Hindi movies with your classmates but would listen to them holding forth about Marilyn Monroe or Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra. Many teenagers my age sported the Cleopatra fringe too. But my mother was, for reasons best known to her, a Hindi movie buff and she would take me for all of them. That&rsquo;s how I too got hooked to Bollywood although we didn&rsquo;t understand half of what was happening since we didn&rsquo;t speak Hindi. But we laughed at Johnny Walker and Mehmood&rsquo;s jokes and wept buckets when we watched Dosti. Cinema is not so much about dialogues but about conveying emotions through body language and we had plenty of that in Bollywood. My mother passed on but I transferred my love for Hindi movies to my kids.</p>

<p>So when Sridevi returned with English-Vinglish at age 49 she became a trailblazer. And the movie was spectacular because it resonated with so many of us who struggle with English and are looked down upon by those who speak the language flawlessly, courtesy their schooling and elitist upbringing. &nbsp;In the movie, Sridevi takes up the challenge of learning English and she did to the amazement of all. I love this part &ndash; when women stop becoming victims and stand up for what they want from life. So, Sridevi, you touched many hearts and I know of many who enrolled in personality development courses &ndash; both men and women after watching English-Vinglish for the simple reason that we live in a society of hypocrites &ndash; as if English makes a man or woman. But, well, if one speaks and writes English perhaps the circle of acquaintances grows bigger. If that matters! &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p>At the personal level, I loved the movie &lsquo;Mom&rsquo;. It&rsquo;s a movie that many mothers found inspiring. It&rsquo;s a movie that defies the conventional Hindustani type of household where everything is near perfect and families live life along expected lines. Here Sridevi is married to a man who has a daughter who studies at a college she is teaching &ndash; a step-daughter, Arya who could never accept a stepmother and believes it is a disrespect to her late mother&rsquo;s memory. But when Arya is raped and thrown into a gutter after she was waylaid by a classmate (who fancied her but who she thwarted) and his relative, a local bully and his henchmen. Arya was found by a morning walker who admits her to a hospital.</p>

<p>When Sridevi was informed of this incident she was livid and asked Arya for details so she can file an FIR at the local police station which in itself was a tall order. The case comes up for hearing but as usual, falls flat due to the poor investigation. It was then that Sridevi vows revenge and teams up with a private detective to kill the perpetrators one by one. Only Sridevi could have carried out that role so brilliantly and meticulously to avenge the rape of her step-child. What happens in the process is what the movie is all about but Mom is about the untapped strength of every woman. It is said that &lsquo;hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.&rsquo; I would say a woman wronged can wreak havoc in her pursuit of justice. That&rsquo;s what symbolises Kali and Durga too. &nbsp;</p>

<p>In her second avatar, Sridevi did full justice to her roles. Of course, we all loved her body moves in the lilting Hawa-Haiwai of Mr. India and other movies before that but they never made that lasting impact.</p>

<p>In November last year, Sridevi was at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) at Goa. My son, Merlvin an actor who two Khasi movies &lsquo;Ri-Homeland of Uncertainty and &lsquo;Onaatah&rsquo; won national awards and who was a jury member for the Indian Panorama selection of feature and non-feature films met Sridevi and received a commendation plaque from her. He could not stop talking about how honoured he was to have met such a professional actor.</p>

<p>It&rsquo;s hard to believe that Sridevi is no longer with us. It&#39;s sadder that she will not be able to see her elder daughter Jahnvi&rsquo;s debut film Dhadak, directed by Karan Johar and due for release in July this year. But that&rsquo;s life, whose other side is death. Sridevi&rsquo;s memories will live on through her films. Rest in Peace wherever you are!</p>

Sridevi was one such iconic figure of Bollywood who zapped her fans even in North East India, where people do not watch Hindi movies.

Opinion: Sridevi reigned in NE India where Bollywood movies are not popular

<p>By: Akanksha Swarup</p>

<p>Sridevi&rsquo;s untimely demise arrives as 2018&rsquo;s early shockers but also as a grim reminder of a shallow, materialistic urban society that&rsquo;s diminishing in its core values.</p>

<p>I was out on a road trip from Mumbai to Delhi and a relaxing breather at Udaipur was brought to a disturbing halt as I woke up to the shocking news of Sri&rsquo;s sudden demise.</p>

<p>As a journalist with a keen eye for entertainment news, I couldn&rsquo;t help but ask myself if Sridevi&rsquo;s untimely death had anything to do with the constant societal pressure to look a certain way by defying age?</p>

<p>The constant surgeries, implants and botox shots that most heroines are succumbing to across the globe is a harsh reality that we need to address as a society, every time we hit a like on an age-defying face in a picture going viral on Facebook. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

<p>That Sridevi and her daughter Jhanvi were a regular at Dr Raj Kanodia, a Hollywood celebrity cosmetic surgeon based in California is no secret. His Instagram account is a testimony to their visits along with SRK and wife Gauri Khan.&nbsp;</p>

Opinion: Sridevi, the tragedy of a diva

<p>PM Narendra Modi reacts to the sudden and tragic death of veteran&nbsp;actress <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/legendary-actor-sridevi-dies-tributes-pour-in-from-all-over-the-world-33953">Sridevi</a>.

She was a veteran of the film industry, whose long career included diverse roles and memorable performances. My thoughts are with her family and admirers in this hour of grief. May her soul rest in peace: PM @narendramodi.&quot;</p>

<p>The actor, the wife of producer Boney Kapoor,<a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/legendary-actor-sridevi-dies-tributes-pour-in-from-all-over-the-world-33953"> died late in the night </a>reportedly due to cardiac arrest in Dubai, where she had gone along with her family to attend her nephew Mohit Marwah&#39;s wedding.</p>

<p>Confirming the news, a source close to the family said, &quot;Yes it&#39;s true. She was in Dubai while some of the other family members came back to India. We hear it&#39;s <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/legendary-actor-sridevi-dies-tributes-pour-in-from-all-over-the-world-33953">cardiac arrest</a>.&quot;</p>

<p>While some of her family members returned from Dubai after the wedding, Sridevi, Boney and her younger daughter Khushi stayed back.
