‘IIFA’ honours Sridevi as best actress

BANGKOK: Bollywood superstar Sridevi Kapoor was honoured for her final role at India's movie awards in Bangkok, winning best actress at the celebration of dance, music and film just months after her shock death, reports AFP.

Sridevi was considered one of the most influential Bollywood actresses of all time. Her death from accidental drowning in a Dubai hotel room bathtub aged 54 in February left the nation in stunned grief.

"I have mixed emotions today. I miss her every minute and second of my life," her widower Boney Kapoor said as he collected the gong on her behalf at the Indian Film Academy's (IIFA) annual awards ceremony.

With an audience of more than 850 million, the IIFA Awards -- dubbed Bollywood's Oscars by some in the industry -- is India's biggest media event.
