A part of the ashes of Bollywood actress Sridevi were
immersed in the holy Ganges in Haridwar in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday by her
husband and film producer Boney Kapoor.
He was accompanied by family
friend and Rajya Sabha member Amar Singh, younger brother Anil Kapoor and other
family members.
Boney Kapoor broke down at one point as family priests
Shiv Kumar Paliwal and Manish Jaiswal performed religious rituals at the VVIP
ghat. Anil Kapoor consoled his elder brother.
Uttarakhand Agriculture
Minister Subodh Uniyal and Haridwar Mayor Manoj Garg were present during the
immersion of ashes in the Ganges.
Earlier, the family carrying the ashes
in two urns landed at the Jolly Grant airport in Uttarakhand's capital in the
afternoon and then drove in a fleet of cars to Haridwar.
Fashion designer
and family friend Manish Malhotra was also present.
Later, the family
paid obeisance at Harihar temple at Kankhal.
Late in the evening, they
drove back to Dehradun where they will spend the night at Nature Villa hotel.
The 54-year-old actress accidentally drowned last month at a Dubai hotel.
Informed sources close to the family said the late actor had stopped at
Haridwar during a film shoot in 1993 and had promised to return. It was to
fulfil this wish of Sridevi that the family decided to immerse her ashes in the
holy Ganga after performing a similar ritual at Rameshwaram in Tamil Nadu.
