Sridevi left for heavenly abode on Februay 24 in Dubai...
The skies were shining a little more brightly at night on February 24 as they just inherited one of our brightest stars in Sridevi while it was a gloomy night for the entire nation as it mourned the demise of India's first female superstar. The 54-year old actress left for heavenly abode duo to 'accidental drowning' in her hotel bathtub following loss of consciousness.
As her fans across the country waited with teary eyes and baited breath for the arrival of the mortal remains of Sridevi in the country, in order to catch one last glimpse of their favourite actress. Since the body of the actress was taken for autopsy and other formalities were being carried out in United Arab Emirates, there was considerable delay in bringing her mortal remains back home.
While many may not be aware of the man who actually helped in signing out her remains to be brought back home, here's what we've been able to gather about him so far. A report on the Hindustan Times suggests that a 44-year old Indian, hailing from Kerala and residing in UAE has become a "ferryman of sorts" who helps in getting the mortal remains of those who dies in the UAE. His name is Ashraf "Sherry" Thamarassery.
Ashraf, as he is signed on the official paperwork in Dubai, was the one who helped not just Sridevi but as many as 4700 other bodies to 38 countries across the world so far. On Tuesday, he not just helped in getting Sridevi's body back home, but also helped repatriate four other bodies.
The report quoted Ashraf as informing The Associated Press on Tuesday night, "For them, you or me, it’s all the same and everyone is equal. If someone dies in their room, they will take them to the hospital and then to be checked at the police mortuary.”
He further added, “It’s the same process, whether Dubai or Sharjah or any emirate. ... Whether you’re poor or rich, it doesn’t matter.”
He had also informed that the Indian officials had quickly cancelled Sridevi's passport and prepared other documents, a police clearance that was needed, was slowing down Sridevi's repartition. Ashraf got a lot of calls from journalists and other officials in the meantime, until her remains were cleared to be taken back to India.
