"People Like Her Are Difficult To Forget" Says Anil Kapoor on Sridevi's Death Anniversary

On February 24 last year, India woke to the shocking news of the sudden demise of actor Sridevi in Dubai. A year on, her family including husband Boney Kapoor, daughters Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi, her brother-in-law Anil Kapoor and his wife Sunita Kapoor, Tamil actor Ajith, English Vinglish director Gauri Shinde and her husband R Balki were in Chennai for pooja on her first death anniversary, as per Hindu calendar (thithi).

Speaking on the occasion, Anil Kapoor aforesaid people like Sridevi were tough to forget that her body of work continues to inspire. The media quoted the actor as speech, “She was my brother’s wife and my wife’s friend as they connected really well. Whenever we met there was invariably fun, laughter and humour. People like Sri Ji are tough to forget. Her body of work is fabulous and galvanizing. Her films are still being seen and pictures still being revealed all over. She will always be missed.”

Anil Kapoor and Sridevi have worked in a number of films together including hit films like Mr. India and critically acclaimed films like Lamhe.

It may be recalled that Sridevi with the rest of her family and in-laws were in Dubai for the wedding of her nephew Mohit Marwah in February last year. Post the wedding, whereas the rest of the family flew back to Mumbai, Sridevi reportedly stayed back in the Gulf nation for some shopping. Boney Kapoor joined her later and on the day of her demise, they decided to go for dinner together. She went into the bathroom to get ready and did not emerge for a long time. After 20 minutes, when she didn’t come out, Boney entered the bathroom to find her totally submerged in a bathtub. She was later pronounced dead on February 24 by ‘accidental drowning’.
