INTERNATIONAL NEWS - Fans have gathered in the western Indian city of Mumbai to pay their respects to Bollywood star Sridevi Kapoor, who died in Dubai on Saturday.
Her body which was flown back to India on Tuesday, is currently at the Celebration Sports Club near her home to accommodate the crowds.
The funeral will be held later on Wednesday.
The actress, 54, died "due to accidental drowning following loss of consciousness", police said.
