MUMBAI: Sridevi (pic), an icon of In­­dian cinema who has passed away at age 54, redefined the concept of stardom for actresses in India. She made it big in Indian movies after her 1982 Tamil film Moondram Pirai, playing the same role in its Hindi remake Sadma (Trauma). Sridevi appeared in around 300 films and was set to see her older daughter Jhanvi make her Bollywood debut soon. Leading Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar also expressed his shock at her “untimely demise”. “She was a veteran of the film industry, whose long career included diverse roles and memorable performances,” Modi tweeted.
