Earlier, the family carrying the ashes in two urns landed at the Jolly Grant airport in Uttarakhand’s capital in the afternoon and then drove in a fleet of cars to Haridwar. Later, the family paid obeisance at the Harihar temple at Kankhal.
Informed sources close to the family informed that the late actor had stopped at Haridwar during a film shoot in 1993 and had promised to return. It was to fulfill this wish of Sridevi that the family decided to immerse her ashes in the holy Ganga after performing a similar ritual at Rameshwaram in Tamil Nadu.
