Bollywood actress Sridevi Kapoor, who died in February, has been named Best Actress at India's National Film Awards for her last role. Her husband and daughters received the prize on her behalf. The superstar's death shocked the Indian film world. Sridevi, as she was known, was 54 when she died during a visit to Dubai to attend a family wedding. She was found unresponsive in her hotel bathtub.
Initial reports said she had died of a heart attack but police later said it had been "due to accidental drowning following loss of consciousness".
"Sridevi would have been very happy today," her widower Boney Kapoor told Indian media after the awards ceremony. "We miss her, it is a very proud moment at the same time."
He accepted, alongside their daughters, the prize for her performance in revenge thriller Mom.
