Over the last few years, Sridevi had been preparing her eldest daughter, Janhvi Kapoor, for her debut Bollywood film slated for release later this year.
Thousands of mourning fans have lined the streets of Mumbai to pay their respects to Sridevi Kapoor, the celebrated Bollywood actor who drowned in a hotel bathtub in Dubai over the weekend.
A string of luxury cars ferried family members, Bollywood stars and VIPs in through another gate, with squadrons of private guards keeping back crowds.
Condolences have poured in since the death of the actor, who redefined the importance of the female lead in India’s largely male-dominated film industry.
