A year has gone by since the Indian film industry lost its first female superstar, Sridevi, but her family, co-stars and directors are yet to come to terms with her absence.
Sridevi passed away, aged 54, due to accidental drowning in a Dubai hotel on February 24 last year. Her sudden death left family, friends and thousands of fans in a state of shock.
On her first death anniversary, daughter Janhvi Kapoor was among the first ones to pay a tribute to Sridevi on social media. "My heart will always be heavy. But I'll always be smiling because it has you in it," Janhvi wrote on Instagram, alongside a picture of her sitting in her mother's lap holding hands.
Sridevi's brother-in-law, Anil Kapoor, who has shared screen space with her in multiple films, wrote: "An unbearable loss is only made bearable through fond memories...We miss you #Sridevi. A whole lot."
Sridevi's sister-in-law, designer Maheep Kapoor, shared a series of pictures with the actor on Instagram and wrote, "Will always remember the good times."
Actor Madhuri took to Twitter and wrote how Bollywood has lost a "true gem". "Just a year ago today, Bollywood lost a true gem! Remembering the late #Sridevi ji on her first death anniversary. You left behind a void that can never be filled. Thank you for inspiring all of us."
Veteran actor Shabana Azmi took to Twitter and wrote: "A year already. #Sridevi. You will live on through your work."
