Sridevi’s cause of death — accidental drowning — have pushed people to question the series of changing statements since her demise and the unnecessary ‘delay’. Television news channels have ‘bathrooms and bathtubs’ on screen and are investigating Sridevi’s death by sensationalising it.
A few of the Bollywood celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Vidya Balan, Farhan Akhtar, Sonu Sood, even journalists like Barkha Dutt, Rajdeep Sardesai, along with Sridevi’s fans are now condemning the “sensational” reporting on her death. A few are saying: “It’s interesting that about 10,000 people, in the media and outside, have overnight gained expertise in forensics, surgery and post-mortem procedures at the same time as they have lost it generally #SrideviDeathMystery“
One user commented: “You ignore 254 movies in 5 languages over 45 years. You ignore private grief. You presume, conjecture, mock a death clutching a sketchy preliminary report. Dear shrill TV channels: You need to be investigated first on charges of murdering news. #SrideviDeathMystery #Sridevi”

The only answer to these #Sridevi hideous hashtags on news tv tonight is one of our own : #NewsKiMaut. Forget a bathtub; a drain pipe will do for this gutter level rubbish. Ashamed to be affiliated with this. Relieved to not be on air in this present environment

This reportage is anything but that.— Mini Mathur (@minimathur) February 26, 2018
Several hundred years later history books will mark these years for the death of journalism.

And not for the first time, Indian news channels are now forensic experts, doctors and sleuths based on zero hard info . We don't let people live in peace, we won't let them die either! #Sridevi

Sridevi’s untimely death has left everyone shocked. While India still waits to receive Sridevi’s mortal remains, Indian envoy to the UAE, Navdeep Suri, took to Twitter to share: “The media interest in untimely demise of #Sridevi is understandable. But the frenzy of speculation does not help. Imp to note that:
1. We are working with local authorities to ensure that mortal remains can be sent to India at the earliest. We are on the job. 2. We are in regular contact with the family of #Srideviand other well- wishers. We share their pain.
3. Our experience in similar cases tells us that it does take 2-3 days to complete processes
4. We leave it to the experts to determine cause of demise
Let’s be responsible.”
