Sridevi's final on-screen appearance in Zero

At Sangam theatre the week of the film Zero's release, at an early morning show, the crowds gathered to grab their first look at the highly anticipated Shahrukh Khan extravaganza, they encountered a pleasant surprise as the first few reels appeared on screen. Shahrukh Khan opened the film with a tribute, "Your memory is a treasure, you are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure, Sridevi ji,"

As people mouthed out the words, the collective burst into applause, remembering the screen icon and her final appearance on film. With the passing of Sridevi - star of nearly 300 films in five languages - a chapter in Indian cinematic history closes forever.

RIP Sridevi.
