Preity Zinta is heartbroken as she did not get to say goodbye to her favourite actor

Gone too soon, Sridevi, an actor par excellence, passed away on February 24, 2018, in Dubai. Her mortal remains are currently being carried to the cremation ground in Vile Parle Seva Samaj Crematorium and Hindu Cemetery, Next to Pawan Hans, Mumbai. Entire Kapoor clan including Boney Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor are there by her side in her final ride. The actor was accorded with state honours earlier in the day with all the celebrities and her co-stars thronging the Celebration Sports ground in Andheri where the prayer meeting was held. 

Fans have thronged the roads in huge numbers to catch the last glimpse of their favourite actor. However, Preity Zinta, who is abroad right now, has taken to Instagram to express her sadness of not being able to say goodbye to her. She also expressed her anguish over the dismantled coverage of her demise. This is what her post read: “Almost everyone I know has gone to say goodbye to her in Mumbai. I’m on the other side of the globe, it’s midnight & I cannot sleep. Right now a part of my childhood,

burns Into ashes & dust. Sridevi my icon is gone.I close my eyes & see Hawa Hawai smiling at me. She will always be in my heart. I wish her peace & freedom. I’m so sad I did not get to say goodbye. I’m upset & angry to see people stoop so low and the media circus. Everyone wants to gain from her departure. As her fan I hate it & I hate them. How dare they try to take her dignity in death? I will not let this happen. 

Sridevi is and always will be the Brightest Star. A powerhouse of talent, spontaneity & sensuality. She will always will be my Hawa Hawaii. Thank you for always Brightening up my life & for making me cry. Thank you for being so gracious & sweet & most of all thank you. for making me fall in love with cinema. I love you
