Another Mom co-star Adnan Siddiqui, who met her a few days ago at the wedding, could hardly believe the news.

Life is so unpredictable, A lady with not just extreme talent but also a beautiful soul, Sri Devi Kapoor leaves us heavy hearted. So many memories attached while shooting “MOM” with her, just a couple days back I met her at Boney Kapoor’s nephews wedding and who would have thought that it is the last time im seeing her. Im still in a state of shock and out of words to describe my feeling! May her soul rests in eternal peace hereafter.🙏

So sad ! What an Artist ! Watched many of her movies. Cannot forget "Tohfa" with Jitendar wherein she looked so young, so fresh, so beautiful and so full of life. A great loss indeed.

@BAKHTI Come on dude... She was liked by millions as a veteran actress. In the age of VCR, no one could prevent from watching Video Tapes of her super hit flicks with outstanding performances. Let other say what they feel for the Diva. I know, for you, she is an ordinary one. Imagine the pain of others who loved her for years. For them, It's really shocking... RIP #sridevi

Talking to my doctor friend, I learnt that our bodies clean the clogging of our hearts every week and it’s a natural process. Any time that cleaning stops the chances of cardiac arrest increase. There is no real cause found other than the Asians may be more prone due to the fact that they may have smaller arteries. I met her a few years back here in California. She seemed quiet and was very soft spoken. May her soul rest in peace. Gone too soon!

More than 3 decades in Movies. Very Apt, Talented and genuinely good and class personality. First Woman Superstar who in her movies impressed the audiences more than the co_star Amitabh Bachan. RIP Srideviji.
