Sridevi’s body to be flown back to India today

"In this industry, there are only a few people I have met who are the same from within as they are outside, who have sentiments off the camera as well. I found people full of selfishness, who would give you a hug and then laugh at your back. In this artificial world, Sridevi was a genuine person," he said.

In his condolence message, Fadnavis said Sridevi started her career at the age of four and continued to perform with ease in Hindi films and movies in several regional language.

"Her roles in movies such as 'Sadma', 'Chandni', 'Lamhe' and 'English-Vinglish' will be remembered for a long time," he said.
