Why was Sridevi wrapped in Tricolor? Here's all you need to know
The sudden death of legendary actress Sridevi gave everyone a big shock as she passed away in Dubai on 24th February. After a couple of controversies, the mortal remains of Sridevi arrived in India all the formal and legal verification by authorities in Dubai.
While Sridevi was dressed in her favourite red and golden Kanjeevaram saree for the last journey, a lot of people were not happy about Sridevi’s mortal remains being draped in national flag because she was not a martyr.
Here’s how they reacted-
Yhi aap great India bna rhe the, Sri Devi ko India tricolor me wrapp krke, ye kya Indian flag ki beijati nhi hai? @PMOIndia — Abhishek Singh (@iamabhi45) February 28, 2018
I don't understand that why they wrapped Sridevi in TRICOLOR, that honour is for our realife heroes who sacrificed their lives for us. She was only an actress. I dont want to hurt anyone, its my point of view. I respect her but she should not b wrapped in TRICOLOR. pic.twitter.com/3PU1pJ41de

The question gripped Indians and caused an outrage on the social media, but as a matter of fact the Maharashtra government decided to give Sridevi full state honours during her last journey. Sridevi was honoured with Padma Shri in 2013 and was among the greatest personalities of Indian Cinema ever. Hence it was the decision of state government itself to give her a legendary farewell and not the family's personal choice. -PTC News#Sridevi shit is she did anything for our country?Why d hell covered with tri color. She s just an actor nothing more than that. #shame #tricolor value ?? Y this state of #honour. — Mufee (@mufeemaddy) February 28, 2018
