Sridevi's childhood friend reveals she was on antibiotics before leaving for Dubai

Mumbai: Sridevi breathed her last on Sunday morning in Dubai after attending her nephew Mohit Marwah’s wedding there. The actress died out of accidental drowning, but her childhood friend has another story to narrate.

The friend revealed that the actress was feeling extremely weak and was on antibiotics as she was down with fever, but did not want to give the wedding a miss.

"I spoke to her the day she was leaving for Dubai. She was down with fever and was on antibiotics. She was feeling tired, but she said that she has to go for the wedding," Pinky Reddy, Sridevi’s childhood friend told Mid-Day.

"I have lost a sister. My father was one of the co-producers of ‘Chandni’ (1989), so I have seen her professional rise. It [her demise] is shocking. We are devastated," Reddy said.

Sridevi’s last rites were held some time back, in the presence of many top stars and celebrities.
