Bollywood superstar Sridevi Kapoor has died of a heart attack at the age of 54.
The actress, who was known simply as Sridevi, had been with her family in Dubai for the wedding of her nephew Mohit Marwah, according to BBC News.
Sridevi’s husband Boney Kapoor and daughter Khushi were with her when she passed away on Saturday (24Feb18). Her brother-in-law Sanjay Kapoor said it had happened “roughly around” 11pm, indianexpress.com reports.
She featured in almost 300 films, including Mr India, Chandni, ChaalBaaz and Sadma. and was considered one of the very few Indian female superstars capable of huge box office success without the support of a male hero.
Sridevi starred in movies from the age of four, and decided to take a break from the film industry after the release of Judaai in 1997.
She made a comeback in 2012, starring in English Vinglish, and in 2013, the Indian government awarded her the Padma Shri – the fourth highest civilian honour.
Crowds gathered outside Sridevi’s home in Mumbai as news emerged of her death, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was “saddened by the untimely demise of noted actor Sridevi”.
Indian President Ram Nath Kovind said her death had left millions of fans “heartbroken”.
