Condolences, tweets, posts, and tributes are dedicated to the actress by various people, but one person questions the reasons for Sridevi’s passing away- Piyali Ganguly. Here is what she said:

“While we are all mourning the untimely demise of Sridevi, it is important to remember why this may have happened to her. Society demanded that she stay slimmer and look younger than a 40-year-old, 50-year-old or 50+-year-old needs to be. Hence the continuous surgeries.”

“When I met her about 5 years ago, she was beautiful, but a sad version of a self that we loved so much in the movie Chandni. What a lot of pressure to manage her weight, to make sure that her face had no wrinkle lines, the ceaseless clinic visits in South Carolina. As a friend of mine, Dipanwita Basu wrote this morning- “Do we need a #metoo movement in fashion, #notsize0?”

“Milan had already implemented this but these patriarchal implants were in her head. The husband who claimed to love her so much should have intervened. Did he love the way she looked at his arm candy more than he loved her? She herself did not trust in her own beauty- she was a clothes horse for whoever would care to dress her.”

“What I conclude has she had such a lack of love for oneself and such a lack of self-esteem that her own lips didn’t suffice, her own face was not good enough, her flesh and blood had to be sucked out of her so that she could wear the best couture. That is the sadness of a life that could have been lived so much better not just for her but for her daughters. What a terrible legacy for her girls.”
