Sridevi’s sudden passing away has left me in deep shock. Can’t imagine how such a bubbly person, a wonderful actor, is no more.She has left a void in the industry that cannot be filled. Boney is a good friend & I’ve seen their daughters grow up. My prayers are with the family🙏

The Dream Girl of Bollywood also expressed her concern over Sridevi’s daughters and in another tweet.
A beautiful girl, a wonderful actress, a lovely human being – Sridevi -has so suddenly been snatched from our midst. What is most needed now is compassion for her 2 young girls deprived of their mother and for her grieving husband. (Contd)

Hema also asked everyone to give the Kapoor family some space after their huge loss and requested everyone to leave the family alone now.
This is not the time to analyze the reasons or belittle her passing away. Let us instead resolve to bestow on her the dignity of death & show her the respect she deserves. We owe it to her.

The whole film industry is trying to come to terms with this tragedy. We have lost a wonderful member whose life has been dedicated to the entertainment field for so many decades. It is only right that we be allowed to grieve in peace.

In her last two tweets, Hema bid a final goodbye to the first female superstar of Bollywood in the best way possible by remembering her for a final time by reminiscing about Sridevi’s contribution to the Hindi film industry.
Paid my last respects to Sridevi. The entire industry was there grieving, some on the verge of breakdown. Such was her aura & magic in films. She lay there, beautiful in a red saree, serene in death & totally at peace. 😢
