'Sridevi Will Always Be Our Hawa Hawai': Tributes From Kajol, Preity Zinta And Others

New Delhi: A grieving Bollywood - many of them on the verge of breakdown, as Hema Malini tweeted - said a final goodbye to Sridevi on Wednesday morning, not only at the Lokhandwala club from where she was taken to the crematorium but also online. Kajol, Sushmita Sen and Shraddha Kapoor posted tributes to the star after the morning's memorial. Preity Zinta, who lives in USA, also shared a post. Kajol captioned her throwback picture of Sridevi: "You are loved mourned missed remembered. And forever relevant! If cinema has a hundred years you were in fifty of them... Keep smiling #sridevi." Sushmita Sen shared a text from a friend recalling how she loved dancing to the song Mere Haathon Mein from Sridevi's cult film Chandni.

Sridevi, 54, died on Saturday in Dubai, where she had attended nephew Mohit Marwah's wedding last week. Her death has been ruled accidental - a postmortem revealed she drowned in her hotel bathtub.

This morning, before Sridevi's last rites with state honours, several colleagues paid her their last respects. Among them were Chiranjeevi, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Madhuri Dixit, Shahid and Mira Kapoor, Tabu, Karisma Kapoor and many others.
