Bollywood superstar Sridevi Kapoor has died after a heart attack, her family says. She was 54.
The actress known simply as Sridevi passed away in Dubai, where she was attending a family wedding.
From the age of four, she had worked in films in the Tamil, Telugu, Malaylam, Kannada and Hindi languages.
She was considered one of the very few Indian female superstars capable of huge box office success without the support of a male hero.
Sridevi's husband Boney Kapoor and daughter Khushi were with her when she died, reports say.
Why was Sridevi such a huge box office draw?
She debuted as a lead actress in a Bollywood film in 1978, soon becoming one of India's biggest film stars.
Over five decades, she starred in more than 150 films, including such Bollywood classics as Mr India, Chandni, ChaalBaaz and Sadma.
The versatile actress decided to take a break from the film industry after the release of Judaai in 1997.
She made a comeback in 2012, starring in English Vinglish.
In 2013, the Indian government awarded her the Padma Shri - the fourth highest civilian honour.
How are fans reacting?
Social media sites are being flooded with condolences, with many users expressing shock that the actress died still relatively young.
Skip Twitter post by @RajeevMasand Never known anyone who was so painfully shy, so quiet off screen, who just transformed into a force of nature when the cameras came on. She was an interviewer’s nightmare, but the movie-buff’s dream. You will be missed, Sridevi. Thank you for the movies. — Rajeev Masand (@RajeevMasand) February 24, 2018 Report
