Her body will be kept at Celebration Sports Club in Lokhandwala for her fans and celebrities to pay their last respects before it is taken for cremation.

Indian ambassador to UAE, Navdeep Suri, tweeted: "After completion of all local processes, mortal remains of #Sridevi are now on enroute to Mumbai. Must acknowledge sterling efforts of CG Vipul and team @cgidubai Thanks to example set by Min @SushmaSwaraj we quietly do the same for any Indians in distress. We care."
