Thousands of mourning fans lined the streets of Mumbai to pay their respects to Sridevi Kapoor, the celebrated Bollywood actor who drowned in a hotel bathtub in Dubai over the weekend.
Her body was flown home on Tuesday night in a private plane owned by Anil Ambani, a Mumbai industrialist and entertainment baron.
Early on yesterday morning, fans had begun lining up along a security fence outside a private club near Sridevi’s home where her body had been laid out.

One mourner, a man who gave his name only as Prashant, arrived at 7am, hours before anyone was to be allowed in.
He said no matter how long he would have to wait, he would wait.
Clutching a small bouquet of flowers he said he would wait until he’s able to pay his respects.
