'Sridevi will live with us through her work, her songs'

Jacqueline Fernandez, Shekhar Kapur and other celebs pay their last respects to India's first female superstar, Sridevi

Sridevi ji has left behind a remarkable body of work. She was a people's superstar. She will live with us through her work, her songs – Jacqueline Fernandez

Goodbye Sri. I met you as a young newcomer. Shy and reserved. And saw you leave as a Devi. All of us that were part of your incredible energy in your lifetime have been blessed  – Shekhar Kapur

Almost everyone I know has gone to say goodbye to her in Mumbai. I'm on the other side of the globe, it's midnight and I cannot sleep. Right now, a part of my childhood burns to ashes and dust – Preity Zinta

The entire industry was there grieving, some on the verge of a breakdown. Such was her aura and magic in films. She lay there, beautiful in a red saree, serene in death and totally at peace – Hema Malini

RIP Sridevi ma'am. I wish I could have been there to pay my respects. You will be missed forever, and ever – Parineeti Chopra
