Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust...



In an archival feature in Cine Blitz, photographer Gautam Rajadhyaksha travelled to Madras (before it became Chennai!) and spent some time with Sridevi and her family. He did a long shoot and feature on Sridevi and saw 'the other Sridevi'. Childlike, talkative, at peace. She revealed to him, this was where she was happiest. The above portrait was a spread in the magazine that captured Sridevi unfiltered.

In the seismic, devastating, untimely death of Sridevi, after her body was cremated, the remaining members of Sridevi's family had the heart-breaking task of taking the urn with her ashes back to the sea, for immersion off Rameswaram on March 3, 2018.

Sridevi returned to where she found nirvana.

RIP Sridevi - we miss you like you won't believe.
