The mortal remains of Sridevi, whose sudden death triggered grief, disbelief and searching questions, was flown back to Mumbai on Tuesday night.
Family members, including her film-maker husband Boney Kapoor and stepson Arjun Kapoor, brought her body on a private jet after three days of uncertainty over her death on Saturday in Dubai.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Dubai public prosecutor's Office put an end to the speculation about the cause of Sridevi's death, saying she 'accidentally drowned' in the bathtub following loss of consciousness, and that the 'case was now closed'.
It did not say what caused the 54-year-old actress to lose consciousness.
The Embraer jet, owned by businessman Anil Ambani, landed in Mumbai around 9.30 pm.
Anil Ambani, his wife Tina and Anil Kapoor were among those at the airport when the plane landed.

Director Anees Bazmee, who directed Boney Kapoor's No Entry, was among the many mourners.
"It is a big shock for everyone," he said. "I have worked with the entire Kapoor family. I can't imagine what Boneyji would be going through at this point. He loved her very much. Their two daughters are so young. It is a sad situation."
"I have not told the family what the media is reporting. It is sad, unfortunate. A person like her does not deserve this," he added, referring to the sensational television coverage of the death.
Others who called on the family in their hour of grief include Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri, Rajinikanth and his wife Lata, Kamal Haasan, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Tabu, Rekha and Farah Khan, Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi.
