Why have bath tubs in hotel rooms or any other place. Not only they can be hazardous but also lots of water is wasted unnecessarily.

This was not normal. Seems like they hushed it up !

Arjun Kapoor hated Sridevi all her life. Now he accompanied her dead body sounds fishy.

@H. Qureshi Why would she have had become unconscious and how one can remain unconscious in water. Han! Boney Kapoor.

The chances of falling asleep in a bathtub and not waking up while drowning are very remote... Toxicology tests should have been done This is very suspicious

OK folks let her Rest-in-Peace now. No more gossips.

It was a well planned crime and well executed cover-up. They know that they can get away with this in Dubai, and not in USA or in Canada. The truth will come out one day. The big question is why her husband left Dubai and then suddenly came back quietly to her surprise. Something is sure fishy. She was one of the best, and will always be remembered as the crown-star of Indian silver screen.

Lets now hope that this beautiful and talented Indian actress can finally Rest In Peace. Love from Pakistan.

After wedding her husband and daughter came to India but SriDevi insisted to stay in hotel. Later Boney revisited Dubai to bring her back when this incident happened. She only consumed beer but never alcohol. Why she remained and stayed in her room continuously for two days. The room service boy can tell many things but some matters remain mystery forever.

Not something, Everything is fishy related to Sri Devi case.
