Thousands of mourning fans paid their respects Wednesday to one of Bollywood’s biggest stars, Sridevi Kapoor. The actress drowned in a hotel bathtub February 24 in Dubai, where she was attending a wedding. She was 54 years old. Sridevi’s body was flown home from Dubai to Mumbai on Tuesday night and taken to a private club. By early Wednesday, tens of thousands of sad and shaken fans had formed a line outside the club for their chance to honor her. One mourner named Prashant said he arrived in the early morning. He told the Associated Press he had seen all Sridevi’s movies. Prashant held a small collection of flowers. “No matter how long I have to wait, I will wait. I'll wait until I'm able to pay my respects,” he said. Inside the club, the actress’s body was placed on a raised surface. The room held many flowers. Her husband, producer Boney Kapoor, and daughters stood by the body as fans and friends walked past in respect. Fans also lined the roads to watch as the vehicle carrying her body passed on its way to the funeral. Sridevi’s body was covered with an Indian flag. She was cremated with state honors.
