On February 24 2018, Sridevi breathed her last in Dubai, after attending the wedding ceremony of Mohit Marwah and Antara Motiwala in Al Jazirah Al Hamrah.

A year on, her filmmaker husband Boney Kapoor and children, Janhvi and Khushi, arrived in Chennai, her hometown, to mark the day with a pooja on Thursday. Joining the trio at Sridevi’s maternal home, in the Mylapore neighbourhood of the Tamil Nadu capital, were Anil and Sunita Kapoor, Tamil actor Ajith Kumar and Sridevi’s English Vinglish director Gauri Shinde, who was accompanied by her filmmaker-husband R Balki.

Boney confirmed that Thursday was Sridevi’s death anniversary according to the “tithi” but didn’t wish to speak further on the subject.

“She was my brother’s wife, and my wife’s friend as they connected really well. Whenever we met there was always fun, laughter and humour. People like Sri ji are difficult to forget. Her body of work is fabulous and inspiring. Her films are still being seen and pictures still being published everywhere. She will always be missed,” Anil had told Mirror recently.
