Sridevi will be cremated with state honours, news agency ANI reports. The Mumbai Police band reaches Celebration Sports Club where her body is lying in state.

The mortal remains of the superstar, who died on Saturday in Dubai, arrived at Celebration Sports Club in Lokhandwala, Mumbai, where her colleagues and fans are paying their last respects. Her last journey will begin at 2pm and Sridevis cremation will take place at 3.30pm at the Vile Parle Seva Samaj.


Family members, including her film-maker husband Boney Kapoor and stepson Arjun Kapoor, brought her body in a private jet last night after three days of uncertainty over her unexpected death on Saturday in Dubai.


Earlier yesterday, Dubai Public Prosecutor's Office put an end to speculation about the cause of her death, saying she accidentally drowned in the bathtub following loss of consciousness, and that the "case was now closed". It did not say what caused the 54-year-old superstar to lose consciousness.


The Embraer jet, owned by industrialist Anil Ambani, landed in Mumbai around 9.30 p.m. and the cremation is scheduled tomorrow around 3.30 pm. Anil Ambani, wife Tina Ambani and Anil Kapoor were among those at the airport when the plane landed.


The mortal remains were then taken to the Lokhandwala residence of the Kapoors where several police personnel along with a host of private security men were deployed for crowd management.


As the ambulance carrying Sridevi's mortal remains entered her residence in suburban Andheri, a large number of fans jostled for a glimpse of their favourite actor.


Both sides of the road leading to Sridevi's 'Green Acres' residence in Lokhandwala were crowded with her fans, with some even climbing the trees to have a clear view.
