Bollywood actress Sridevi, who had an illustrious career spanning over four decades, passed away in Dubai. She was 54. According to the family sources, the actor, wife of producer Boney Kapoor, reportedly died due to cardiac arrest late in the night in Dubai, where she had gone, along with her family, to attend her nephew Mohit Marwah's wedding.
While some of the family members returned from Dubai after the wedding, Sridevi, Boney and Khushi stayed back. A versatile actor, <a title="Sridevi" href="https://www.mid-day.com/topic/sridevi-all" target="_blank">Sridevi </a>made her Bollywood debut in 1978 with "Solva Sawan". But it was only after five years with Jeetendra-starrer "Himmatwala" that she gained commercial success. Her beguiling eyes, scintillating screen presence and acting prowess soon made her one of the most sought-after artistes in the Hindi film industry.

While films like 'Mawaali' (1983), 'Tohfa' (1984), 'Mr India' (1987) and 'Chandni' (1989) kept her at the top in the box-office game, her outings like 'Sadma' (1983), 'ChaalBaaz' (1989), 'Lamhe' (1991), and 'Gumrah' (1993) earned her critical acclaim.
She went on a hiatus for 15 years after starring in home production -- "Judaai" -- co-starring her brother-in-law Anil Kapoor and Urmila Matondkar. It was director Gauri Shinde's "English Vinglish" in 2012 that marked Sridevi's comeback. Her nuanced performance as a middle-class woman, learning to speak English to feel accepted by her family, won accolades, and the film was also a commercial success.
Last year, she was seen in revenge-drama -- 'Mom' -- opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Akshaye Khanna. She shot for a special appearance in superstar Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film -- 'Zero' -- which releases in December. But by the time she made her entry into Bollywood, the actor was a known face in South Indian films. She made her debut in Tamil films as a child artiste with 'Thunaivan' in 1969. As an adult, she debuted in Tamil cinema in late 70s. She also worked in Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada films.
Besides Boney and Khushi, she is survived by older daughter Janhvi Kapoor, who is currently working towards making her entry into the Hindi cinema. Sridevi was step-mother to actor Arjun Kapoor and his sister Anshula, who Boney had from late first wife Mona.
