<\/a>Nearly 200 policemen were present at the venue to keep the crowd in check.<\/p>\nWhile the gates for the general public opened after 10 am, fans from across the country started queuing up to pay their last respects to the “Chandni” star since 6 in the morning.<\/p>\n
“We thought we would be the first ones to come but people had already reached the venue, around 6 in the morning. I am here because I want my son and daughter to see what a legend Sridevi was,” said 45-year-old city resident Sunil Raghavan.<\/p>\n
People have come from as far as Karnataka and Chennai to catch the last glimpse of their screen idol.<\/p>\n
Among the crowd is a group of fans from Karnataka waiting to pay their respects to the actor.<\/p>\n
“We were there even at Anil Kapoor’s bungalow earlier and will not leave Mumbai without seeing our idol,” said a fan waiting in the line.<\/p>\n
Film-maker Karan Johar was the first among prominent personalities to arrive at the venue, followed by other Bollywood celebrities like Arbaaz Khan and Farah Khan.<\/p>\n
The body of Sridevi, whose sudden death triggered a frenzy of grief and disbelief, was flown back to Mumbai last night after the Dubai authorities determined that she had accidentally drowned in her hotel bathtub.<\/p>\n
The family members, including her film-maker husband Boney Kapoor and stepson Arjun Kapoor, brought the body in a private jet after three days of uncertainty over her unexpected death on Saturday in Dubai.<\/p>\n
The 54-year-old Bollywood icon was in Dubai to attend a family wedding.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the family said the funeral will take place at 3.30 pm today.<\/p>\n
“The last journey will commence at 2 pm from Celebration Sports Club to Vile Parle Seva Samaj Crematorium and Hindu Cemetery,” the statement said.<\/p>\n
