Just hours before the tragic death of actor Sridevi by cardiac arrest, Amitabh Bachchan posted on Twitter: Na jaane kyun, ek ajeeb si ghabrahat ho rahi hain (Don't know why, I am feeling strangely restless). Was the tweet, which came just after midnight, a premonition of the tragedy? The question has Twitter all up in arms. Bachchan has starred alongside Sridevi in Khuda Gawah and Inquilaab.
Several prominent personalities had condoled the actor's death.
Wrote Rajinikanth: "I’m shocked and very disturbed. I’ve lost a dear friend and the industry has lost a true legend. My heart goes out to her family and friends. I feel the pain with them #RIPSridev ... you will be missed."
