I don't understand that why they wrapped Sridevi in TRICOLOR, that honour is for our realife heroes who sacrificed their lives for us.
She was only an actress. I dont want to hurt anyone, its my point of view. I respect her but she should not b wrapped in TRICOLOR. pic.twitter.com/3PU1pJ41de— Satyam (@saty24t) February 28, 2018

Why is Sridevi body wrapped in Tricolor, violation of Flag code of India. This dilutes the value of state funeral which is reserved for state/Military/Central Paramilitary Forces funerals. #sridevi#sridevifuneral

The reason behind wrapping her in tricolor
Sridevi was not wrapped in tricolor by the Kapoor family as per to their personal will.
Reportedly, the Maharashtra government decided to give Sridevi full state honours during her last journey.
Sridevi was honoured with Padma Shri in 2013 and was among the greatest personalities of Indian Cinema ever. Hence it was the decision of state government itself to give her a legendary farewell.
We pray for the soul of Sridevi and hope the God gives strength to the family she has left behind. It must be really tough for Boney, Janhvi and Khushi and we pray that they get all the force to deal with the sadness. RIP.
