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.
"We are completely shocked. She had no history of a heart attack," he said.
We lament the sudden demise of legendary Bollywood superstar Sridevi, whose work touched lives around the world. Our condolences to her family and fans. RIP Sridevi
Ever since the news broke out, Sridevi's Lokhandwala home - where she used to live with her husband Boney Kapoor and two daughters Janhvi and Khushi - witnessed a steady stream of ardent fans assembling outside her house to pay their respects.
Two police vans have been stationed and the security, too, has been beefed up to avoid any commotion outside her residence.
According to an Airports Authority of India source, a private jet is being flown to Dubai to carry the late actor's mortal remains.
The aircraft which will bring Sridevi's body is likely to depart from Mumbai around 1 pm and will arrive in Dubai at 4 pm. It is expected to reach Mumbai around 8pm.
"In this industry, there are only a few people I have met who are the same from within as they are outside, who have sentiments off the camera as well. I found people full of selfishness, who would give you a hug and then laugh at your back. In this artificial world, Sridevi was a genuine person," he said.
In his condolence message, Fadnavis said Sridevi started her career at the age of four and continued to perform with ease in Hindi films and movies in several regional language.
"Her roles in movies such as 'Sadma', 'Chandni', 'Lamhe' and 'English-Vinglish' will be remembered for a long time," he said.
