Here's What Happened Minutes Before the Death of Legendary Actor Sridevi

The dark mist is still looming over Bollywood and its fans worldwide, as a legendary actor and even more phenomenal lady passed on this Saturday of a cardiac arrest (Update: Accidental Drowning), in Dubai.

Sridevi's family—real, extended and her millions of fans—are in shock over her sudden demise, and social media is flooded with condolences and reminiscence of cinema's "Hawa Hawai".

It was just yesterday when the entire Kapoor clan was attending the Marwah wedding in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE and it was all over our Insta feed, before this shocking news broke out in the wee hours of Saturday morning.

According to a report in the Khaleej Times, Sridevi had stayed back in Dubai post the wedding to shop and meet up her friends and family there, while her husband Boney Kapoor and daughter Khushi Kapoor had already reached homeland. According to a source close to the family, Boney Kapoor, the doting husband he was, surprised Sridevi at her hotel room at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel around 5:30 PM.

He woke her up and the couple chatted for about 15 minutes before he invited her for dinner. After 15 minutes passed since Sridevi has excused herself to use the washroom to change and freshen up, Kapoor knocked on the door to check on her. On getting no response, he forced open the door to find his wife lying motionless in the bathtub full of water.

"He tried to revive her and when he could not, he called a friend of his. After that, he informed the police at 9 PM", said the source. Before the police and paramedics could reach the site, Sridevi was already pronounced dead, and her body was then taken to the General Department of Forensic Medicine for an autopsy.

The late actor's body is scheduled to reach the country by this afternoon for the last rites. Thousands of fans, and many celebrities have gathered outside Anil Kapoor's residence to pay homage to the departed soul.

An official statement was also released by the YRF (Yash Raj Family) to address all concerned, which read:-

Boney Kapoor, Jhanvi, Khushi and the entire Kapoor, Ayyappan and Marwah family is deeply bereaved and shocked with the untimely loss of Sridevi Kapoor.
