Jan Man: Thousands mourn at the funeral of Indian cinema icon Sridevi

fter a lifetime under the arc-lights, Indian cinema icon Sridevi was today given a send-off fit for celluloid posterity with surging crowds of mourners walking with the cortege as it made its slow way through the city and thousands more glued to television to watch her last rites.
The 54-year-old, whose sudden death in Dubai late Saturday sent shock-waves through India, was given a state funeral with her body wrapped in the tricolour and a gun salute by the Mumbai Police.
Sridevi, Indian cinema's first woman superstar who straddled the parallel worlds of southern films and Bollywood, became an actor when she was only four years old.
Three hundred films later, the doe-eyed actor is still remembered for her comic timing, vivacity and her quicksilver expressions.
