Sridevi's brother-in-law and actor Sanjay Kapoor has
said the whole family was in shock with the sudden demise of the veteran
actress. He also said that she had no history of heart ailment.
The
actress, 54, died on Saturday night at around 11 p.m. after suffering a cardiac
arrest.
In an interview to Khaleej Times, Sanjay said that she was in the
hotel room here when it happened.
"We are completely shocked. She had no
history of a heart attack," he said.
Sanjay landed in Dubai on Sunday
morning.
Sridevi was in Dubai to attend the marriage function of actress
Sonam Kapoor's cousin Mohit Marwah, along with husband Boney Kapoor and younger
daughter Khushi. She exuded elegance in her appearances -- photos and videos
that were now being shared on social media as her "last".
Her elder
daughter Jahnvi, who is due to make her Bollywood debut, was in Mumbai.
Her body is expected to be flown to Mumbai via a special chartered flight on
Sunday evening for the last rites but the timings were not confirmed yet,
according to official sources.
Sridevi, who stepped into showbiz at an
age of four, is known for performances in "Mr. India", "Nagina", "Sadma",
"ChalBaaz", "Chandni", "Khuda Gawah", among many others in different Indian
languages.
The Padma Shri recipient made a comeback to Bollywood in 2012
with "English Vinglish" after a long break of 15 years. She was last seen in
"Mom" in 2017.
