Legendary Bollywood actor Sridevi passed away in Dubai after a massive cardiac arrest.

She was 54.

Sridevi was in Dubai for a family function.Reports say her husband and younger daughter were with her at the time of her death.

A versatile actor, Sridevi made her Bollywood debut in 1978.

While films like "Mr India" (1987) and "Chandni" (1989) kept her at the top in the box office game, her outings like "Sadma" (1983), "ChaalBaaz" (1989), "Lamhe" (1991), and "Gumrah" (1993) earned her critical acclaim.

It was director Gauri Shinde's "English Vinglish" in 2012 that marked Sridevi's comeback.

Her nuanced performance as a middle class woman, learning to speak English to feel accepted by her family, won accolades, and the film was also a commercial success.

Last year, she was seen in revenge drama "Mom".She shot for a special appearance in superstar Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film "Zero" which releases in December.
