Comforting to know that she lives on through her work: Boney Kapoor
Earlier this year, Sridevi was posthumously given the National Award for Best Actress for her role in MOM, which was her last feature film. The award was collected by Boney Kapoor along with daughters Janhvi and Khushi. Janhvi wore her mother's saree at the award ceremony. "It is a very proud yet sad moment for us. We wish she was here with us. She truly deserves it and she has been around for almost 50 years. She had always given her best to all her films. Finally, unfortunately after she has left, that she has been awarded with this honour," Boney Kapoor told reports at the presentation ceremony held on May 3.
Sridevi accidently drowned in the bathtub of a hotel in Dubai in February. She was cremated with state honours in Mumbai. She had delivered hits like Mr India, Chandni and ChaalBaaz among others.
