New Delhi:
Sridevi is gone and the world is poorer for it. But she leaves us rich in memories, and not only of her blockbuster cinematic presence. Sridevi lit up social media just as she had the screen and her Instagram account holds a wealth of pictures of herself and her family. The actress, who died on Saturday in Dubai at the age of 54, made three films in the last five years - but she was seen often on the Bollywood circuit, usually with her daughters Janhvi and Khushi. Sridevi shared pictures from family holidays, parties, weddings and other events. We've collated some of these to remember her by.
This picture of Sridevi and daughter Khushi was one of the very last posts she shared before her death. It was taken at the wedding of Kapoor nephew Mohit Marwah in Dubai last week - Sridevi collapsed in her Dubai hotel room on Saturday, after wedding festivities.
Last summer, Sridevi posted this picture of herself with older daughter Janhvi on holiday in Los Angeles:

Sridevi, star of films like Mr India, Sadma and Chandni, began as a child artiste aged all of four. Her 50-year career boasts an extensive filmography in many languages. She acted with the film industry's top leading men, from Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor to Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar. Some of her most memorable work was with actor Anil Kapoor, who later became her brother-in-law.
A postmortem has revealed that Sridevi died of 'accidental drowning,' Gulf News reports. She will be brought to Mumbai from Dubai and a funeral will follow. Her former co-stars Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan are believed to be in Mumbai for the last rites.
