superstar".

thinking about it."

"Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna" to her memory. "Never say goodbye! She will always
remain an integral part of our industry. She will always remain our superstar."

younger daughter Khushi Kapoor to attend nephew Mohit Marwah's wedding last

Khushboo Sundar said she still cannot believe that Sridevi is no more. "I am
numbed, it's yet to sink in that she is no more with us. Most of us are still in
denial mode...the most beautiful actor who could put any hero to shame with her
charm and talent. Gone too soon.
"Warm and beautiful person from within,
her childlike laughter plays like a chime in my head. My heart goes out to her
husband Boneyji and their two young daughters on the threshold of what the
mother always dreamt about. As a woman, she will continue to inspire the
millions who have dreams in their eyes. She lived with dignity and commanded
respect till the end."
The news of Sridevi's death was confirmed by
brother-in-law Sanjay Kapoor late on Saturday (February 24) and ever since the
entire nation and the film fraternity has not stopped mourning.
Sridevi's
