A great many fans have lined the boulevards in the Indian city of Mumbai as the state burial service parade for Bollywood star Sridevi Kapoor, who kicked the bucket in Dubai on Saturday, gets going.
Her body, which is being conveyed in an extraordinarily improved truck, will travel 7 km (4.3 miles) to the burial ground.
Prior, fans gripping roses lined outside the Celebration Sports Club in the city to say goodbye to the star.
Sridevi's body was flown back to India on Tuesday night.
The performing artist, 54, kicked the bucket "because of unplanned suffocating after loss of cognizance", police said. She was found in her inn bath.
Referred to just as Sridevi, the on-screen character was viewed as one of the not very many Indian female geniuses equipped for tremendous film industry accomplishment without the help of a male saint. She showed up in about 300 movies more than five decades.

Film stars from Bollywood and in addition the south Indian film industry were among the grievers at the games club in the Andheri West region of Mumbai, home to Bollywood.
"Since I heard the news about her demise, I have been remaining outside her home for a few hours consistently, sitting tight for one look," Bhagirathi, a yearning performing artist, disclosed to BBC Marathi's Abhijeet Kamble. She said she was propelled by Sridevi to attempt her fortunes in Bollywood.
Rajan Naidu, who has been a fanatic of Sridevi since he was a kid, said he booked a whole film corridor in Mumbai when her last motion picture, English Vinglish, was discharged in 2012. He even named his little girl after Sridevi.
Another fan, Kalpanaben Kodekar, said she voyaged the distance from the neighboring territory of Gujarat to see Sridevi "one final time".
"I'm extremely thankful that they permitted us inside and not only the famous people. We'll generally feel the void Sridevi's flight has made," she included.
Vast quantities of police have been conveyed outside the star's home, on the parade course and outside the Vile Parle Seva Samaj crematorium where the body will be taken.
It had before been accounted for that Sridevi kicked the bucket of heart failure while at a family wedding in Dubai.
The full after death report has not yet been discharged to general society and will be relied upon to clarify how the first report of heart failure and the posting of "unplanned suffocating" are connected.
The on-screen character had been in the United Arab Emirates to go to the wedding of her nephew, Mohit Marwah.
