Along with Sridevi, late actor Shashi Kapoor was also honored.
Sridevi passed away at the age of 54, in Dubai, while attending the wedding of a relative. After much speculation and coverage, it was revealed that she had died of accidental drowning.
Following her death, her husband Boney Kapoor and daughter Jhanvi Kapoor have each expressed their immense grief and the nation’s heart went out to the family.
