Bollywood film producer Boney Kapoor took an urn carrying the ashes of Bollywood Superstar and his wife Sridevi to Chennai on Saturday for immersion in the sea off Rameswaram.

The ashes brought by Kapoor in a special aircraft will be taken to the holy island town of Rameswaram on Saturday and immersed in the sea there, airport sources said.

Sridevi died due to “accidental drowning” in a bathtub in a Dubai hotel on 24 February. She was 54. Her last rites were performed in Mumbai on Wednesday, and thousands of fans expressed their love for the big screen’s “Chandni”.

Sridevi was in Dubai with Boney Kapoor and daughter Khushi to attend the wedding of her nephew Mohit Marwah and Antara Motiwala. Her elder daughter Janhvi gave the event a miss due to work commitments.

The body of the actor, who was born in a village in Tamil Nadu and started her career in Tamil films, was cremated on February 28.

Her death sent shock waves across India with those who knew her at a loss to explain how the star could die so suddenly.
