Sridevi honoured at Cannes 2018: Not Janhvi or Boney, Subhash Ghai tak

A few days ago the news of Sridevi being
honoured at the ongoing Cannes Film
Festival spread like wildfire. And reports of
Boney Kapoor along with daughter Janhvi
Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor attending the
festival made to the headlines. Instead it
was filmmaker Subhash Ghai who received
the award on behalf of Sridevi.
Cannes Film Festival honoured late Sridevi
with a special salute to the actress at the
Titan Reginald F Lewis Film Honours on
Thursday (May 17) for her contribution to
Indian cinema.
Subhash Ghai, who worked with Sridevi in
the 1986 film Karma, took to Twitter to
share pictures from the event and wrote, "It
was an honour to receive award on behalf
of legend @SrideviBKapoor at
@Festival_Cannes yesterday for her
outstanding contribution in indian cinema
and shared my experience with impeccable
inimitable actor to western audience hosted
by Titan Reginald F. Lewis film honours."

Reacting to the announcement of Cannes
intending to honour Sridevi, Boney had
earlier said, "I'm happy that people from the
world over are recognising her body of
work and her contribution to cinema. Even
though the overwhelming emptiness of
losing her remains, it's comforting to know
that she lives on through her work."
Early this month, Sridevi was awarded the
National Film Award in the best actress
category for her performance in Mom.
Boney along with Janhvi and Khushi had
received the award on her behalf.
