Sridevi!! This name is enough to take you all back in the era of 80's and 90's. Sridevi ruled the heart of Indian people for a very very long time!! She is considered as the first lady super star of the film industry. Sridevi is resting in peace now, but she will always rule the hearts of millions of people....
The accident which happened with the departed soul was very unfortunate, but more unfortunate was the reaction people showed over the social media. Since the day when the sad news came in, people have been so curious about each and every action happening in Dubai and in India.
When the news about cardiac arrest came in, people tried to accept it somehow though there were many speculations about the reason behind the cardiac arrest was her over dieting and weight maintenance issues!!! As soon as the post-mortem report came with written as 'accidental drowning', people started being skeptical about her murder. Some of them even declared her husband as the killer. People flooded social media with varieties of reactions like posting memes, jokes, trolls etc. We have to accept the fact that a person can drown in a bath tub, and this is a very common accident which can be the reason of death.
Creating memes for a person who is no more!!!!! Doesn't it feel stupid to even think of making a joke out of the accident happened to the departed soul? How would you feel if you see your kin's death memes and jokes all over the social media...
As the days passed by, people accepted the sad truth.. but then comes the question of why she got a state honor, while she was JUST an actor. JUST an actor who devoted her life to cinema (saying this because she had started acting at the age of four, and she died at 54). So, in a way it has taken her life's time to get to the level of being a Padma Shree. Though all the Padma Shree awardees do not get state honor, but Sridevi definitely deserved what she has got. She is the first lady super star of the industry, Sridevi broke the glass ceiling in the 90's. She was the first lady to charge 1-3 crore fees per film!! Sridevi happens to be the inspiration of many present actors...
Rather questioning about why she was wrapped in a Tricolor, think about what all she had to undergo to reach this level. She sacrificed her school life, her college life, she started earning at the age of four. And I think it is not that easy to be a bread earner at such a young age. So what if she died under the influence of alcohol, it was so unfortunate that she could not revive herself when she was drowning. Small amount of alcohol should not have taken away the honor which she deserved... Sri Amma Yanger Ayappan, entertained the people of India for 50 Years i.e half of a century!!!! I think she deserved the honor for her contribution to the India Cinema!!!!
May her soul Rest in Peace!!
