Bolywood's first female super star and a veteran actress, Sridevi, passed away last night after a cardiac arrest. She was 54 years old and was in Dubai with her family when this happened. 

 

Shocked beyond words to hear about the sad and untimely demise of #Sridevi. A dream for many, had the good fortune of sharing screen space with her long ago and witnessed her continued grace over the years. Thoughts and prayers with the family. RIP ðð»

Have witnessed Sridevi's life from  an adolescent teenager to the magnificeint lady she became. Her stardom was well deserved. Many happy moments with her flash through my mind including the last time I met her. Sadma's lullaby haunts me now. We'll miss her

She was an iconic actress who went effortless from dancing to 'Hawa Hawai', becoming the most beautiful 'Roop Ki Rani' and then also essaying a practical, real life house wife in 'English Vinglish'.  It is truly a dark day in the history of Indian cinema today. While further details are yet awaited from her family, the industry is already mourning the loss.
