Thousands of mourning fans lined the streets of Mumbai today to pay their respects to Bollywood actor Sridevi Kapoor.

Throughout the 80s she was the undisputed queen of Indian cinema, often eclipsing the male actors she starred with. In breaking through this glass ceiling she became one of the highest paid actors of her time.
