"रहने को सदा देहर में आता नहीं कोई
तà¥à¤® जैसे गये à¤à¤¸à¥‡ à¤à¥€ जाता नहीं कोई"~ कैफ़ि आज़मी.
देहर - means .. the world .
Javed Akhtar narrated this sher to me at funeral of Sridevi .. said it was written at time of Guru Dutt demise ; but so appropriate for today ..
Just before Sridevi’s untimely demise, the ‘Deewar’ actor had expressed his restlessness on Twitter.

How can one not just feel love & beauty & be grateful for a life that became a part of yours in some small way by making it prettier....isn’t it just easier to feel love & give towards that life, even in death...the comfort of appreciation and gratitude.

Bollywood's Dream Girl Hema Malini also paid tribute to the Judaai actress and her dear friend on Twitter.
Paid my last respects to Sridevi. The entire industry was there grieving, some on the verge of breakdown. Such was her aura & magic in films. She lay there, beautiful in a red saree, serene in death & totally at peace. 😢

Sridevi was one of the most adored and respected actresses we have in Bollywood and an inspiration to many. Her craft spanned across many languages including Telugu, Kannada and Tamil.
Saying anything about the actress who gave her heart and soul to the industry will be an understatement. Though Sridevi is no more with us but she will definitely stay alive in our hearts forever.
