She leaves behind a legacy that is unique: Anil Kapoor

Actor Anil Kapoor and Sridevi’s brother-in-law was among the members of the Kapoor family who became a pillar of support for Boney Kapoor, the actress’ husband and their two daughters, Khushi and Janhvi. Anil was not only a relative, but also Sridevi’s colleague and together they delivered several hit movies such as Lamhe, Mr India and Judaai among others.

Anil was also seen through the actress’ funeral on Wednesday. On Wednesday evening, a statement was released by him on his official Twitter account.

The complete text of the statement:

The past few days have been trying times fir us as a family. Today particularly, has been one of the hardest. We laid to rest a beautiful soul who has gone too soon.

She leaves behind a legacy that is unique. Her talent was undeniable, her beauty unmatched and her ability to connect with the audience was legendary. Sri had the same connect with her family as well.

The one thing that helped us all get through these last few days, was the amazing amount of love and support from everyone -- be it her many colleagues, to her innumerable fans, her caring friends and loving family, from across the country and the world.

This outpouring of love is the memory that we would like Khushi and Janhvi to have of their mother... a woman who was loved unquestionably by everyone. Let us all who loved Sri, envelope her two little ones, her life, as she often called them, with as much or more love than we gave Sri so that they can live their lives ahead with a little less ache in their hearts.

Let us help them remember their mother fondly, with that beloved twinkle in her eyes and help them build a life and be what Sri had dreamt for them.

Kapoor, Ayyappa and Marwah family
