This thread is insensitive. Anyway to answer your question ideally only military, police, high office holders and elected representatives get the flag. But it is the discretion of the state government to give it to others. Like the UP government gave it to a mob lyncher to play politics so Sridevi is much above such a person. At least she was a renowned actress in every sense.

Here is an article on state funeral.

I remember Kannadiga superstar Rajkumar and Bengali superstar Suchitra Sen have been given a state funeral. So Sridevi isn't the first actor to get one.

This topic is extremely insensitive. Why even think about anyone's death?

And when naxals like Gauri Lankesh can get state honours why not Sridevi!

Equally insensitive IMO

Typically national flags are reserved for military and highly decorated civilians. Since celebrities tend to have such an emotional space in the minds of Indians, the interpretation of civilians has always been held loosely.

Sidebar: Why are people so offended by discussion of death? My family and some friends have a morbid sense of humor and we often make jokes about dying - either ourselves or others in the circle. It makes death more palatable and less terrifying by being able to joke about it.

Sridevi was recipient of Padmashri. I think that's why she got a national sending off.

And I'm sick of this don't talk, don't talk, about the death.

Maybe it's a matter of differing perspectives but I feel people are going overboard. I didn't see any disrespect to the celeb concerned if a derisive remark is made about Trump in a thread. It's a discussion. Respects have been paid many times over.

The world does not have to come to a standstill.
