On the 26th local time, according to the Indian Express and other media reports, 55-year-old Indian Bollywood diva Sridevi Kapoor "accidentally drowned" in a bathtub in a hotel in Dubai due to cardiac arrest.
The news of Shri Daiyu's death caused shock to the outside world, and Indian political leaders and entertainment celebrities mourned him. Dubai police said the famous actor accidentally drowned in a hotel bathtub after losing consciousness and has now handed over his body to relatives, and the case has been closed.
A large number of fans lined up outside Ciri Daiyu's home
On Tuesday night, local time, a private jet under the command of Anil Ambani (Mumbai industrialist and entertainment tycoon) transported The remains of Shri Daiyu back to her home in India. On Wednesday morning, a large number of fans lined up outside Ciri Daiyu's home, hoping to pay their final tribute to the star before holding a farewell ceremony. Bollywood's movie stars also came to their homes in luxury cars and entered in turn accompanied by bodyguards.
According to the BBC, the funeral will be held on Wednesday in accordance with Indian tradition.
Huge pressure from DreamWorks
While the unexpected death of Shri Dai Yu is shocking, it has also prompted some industry observers to unveil the huge pressure and uneasiness faced by women and outsiders in India's "dream factory".
According to Indian independent journalist Sudha G Tilak, Bollywood movie stars often see Hindi films as "one big family" rooted in Mumbai film bases in India, but this huge creative industries community is facing a growing rift that is difficult to ignore.
The industry believes that The death of Shri Dai Yu also reveals the difficult situation faced by hopeful Bollywood dreamers: the pressure to fight aging, the panic of trying to look young and beautiful, and the panic of trying to cover up scandals, etc., seem to be more than just the problems faced by Hollywood on the other side of the ocean.
"Bollywood seems to have a worse patriarchal mindset and a nature to exploit women more than men," said a young Bollywood actor who asked for anonymity.
For more than two decades, gossip sites have exposed scandals, mergers and divisions, alcohol abuse, drug abuse and even criminal acts among movie stars. After hearing the news of Ciri Daiyu's death, Bollywood veteran actor Simi Garewal tweeted that "her death is a strange coincidence with the death of American singer Whitney Houston".
Whitney Houston's platinum voice is unique every other day, and it is called the voice of the United States
On February 11, 2012, Whitney Houston died at a hotel in Houston, USA, and an autopsy revealed that she had drowned at the hotel due to a heart attack caused by cocaine use.
According to media reports, at least 16 actresses and 9 male actors in India have committed suicide over the years, usually due to the inability to withstand the enormous pressure of the industry, the trauma of emotional entanglement and depression.
Bollywood, in search of huge box office success for its films, has put pressure on its actors to maintain their outward attractiveness, and celebrities at the tip of the industry's pyramid have also faced huge "peeping" pressure from the media.
Deepika Padukone
The famous Indian actress Deepika Padukone has publicly admitted that she suffered from depression under such pressure.
A nightmare
Ram Gopal Varma, director who directed Shri Daiyu in a box-office hit Tylugu film, said on social media that the Bollywood legend was rather unhappy in real life.
"She's been through so much in her life. Entering the industry as a child actress, life never gave her a normal environment to grow up in. In addition to the peace of the outside world, she has always valued inner peace, which forces her to constantly examine herself", adds Ram Gopal Varma, "The uncertainty of the future and the ups and downs of the blood of the private life have brought indelible scars to the sensitive heart of this superstar." As a result, she never felt calm."

In an interview with reporters last year, Mr. Ciri said she had to submit to the way she worked in Bollywood, such as shooting at 6 a.m. every morning in southern India, but in Bollywood she had to wait until the actors adjusted on set later in the afternoon of the day to start shooting, which made her feel "very uneasy".
For her, the Indian media's obsession with Hindi and English-language films also made her quite uneasy. She has said that when she promoted her first Bollywood film, the feeling of being chased by paparazzi was simply "quite uncomfortable".
As an actress who speaks 5 local Indian languages at the same time, she has been ridiculed by the media for not speaking English.
In addition, her death has led to speculation about whether it is related to having undergone multiple cosmetic surgeries and pursuing youthful appearance.
Shrie Daiyu has been repeatedly questioned by the media whether she has undergone cosmetic surgery, but she has denied it each time. However, for today's Bollywood movie stars, undergoing cosmetic surgery is all too common.
Nepotism prevails
Over the past two decades, many young movie stars have spoken of Bollywood becoming an increasingly unfriendly place, with large studios filled with power trades between nepotism.
Bollywood's top superstar Kangana Ranaut
"I was treated like a dog," says Kangana Ranaut, India's two-time national award winner and top Bollywood superstar. She has said publicly that for an actor like her from a small Indian town, Bollywood is full of unfriendliness and exploitation, and these experiences have been fiercely "stung my nerves".
According to the BBC, producers and directors at Bollywood's major studios are not fundamentally different, either successful or rich and powerful, and most of them are the children of former movie stars or former producers.
These "star two generations" and "star three generations" were born and raised in the city, well educated abroad, and are often referred to as "Mumbai yuppies" in Bollywood.
Kangana Ranaut has said that many dream-filled actors refer to themselves as "outsiders" who are not protected by the network of family power, are vulnerable to exploitation and are extremely vulnerable.
Kangana Ranaut's remarks drew strong criticism from vested interests in the industry, and even "outsiders" like Ranaut, such as Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma, Ranveer Singh, and Deepika Padukone, began to choke her back, because these people were firmly supported by the producers and directors of the "traditional" studio.
There are fewer and fewer remarks like Ranaut these days, but the tragedy of Shri Daiyu may cause the industry and beyond to rethink: How should Bollywood's beauty transcend its glamorous appearance?
