Expressing her grief over Sridevi's demise actress Jaya Prada told ANI, It feels like a bad dream. I couldn't believe until I saw it on TV. We worked together in several movies.

It's shocking. No one had thought that this would happen. She had just returned to films. As an actor she could carry films on her shoulders. She was a pan-Indian actress and an icon of our industry. My heart goes out to her family, said filmmaker Sudhir Mishra who was shaken by the news of Sridevi's death.
