Sridevi’s untimely death has shaken the nation beyond words. The legendary Bollywood actress who was busy celebrating Mohit Marwah’s wedding, left the world overnight, leaving everyone shell- shocked about the incident. The fans are now curious about the ‘accidental bath tub drowning’, thanks to the constant detailed report on the incident by the news channels. The last journey of the late diva was covered by these channels leaving no room for privacy for the family at all. Obviously, this must not have gone down well with Sonam Kapoor, who got too angry and broke down when media just gheraoed her on her way to the cremation ground.

The Veere Di Wedding actress was seen yelling at media and honestly, we don’t blame her even a bit. This is the testing time for the family and a little amount of understanding was expected by the photographers (who by the way, got ample of opportunity to get their clicks).

An agitated Sonam Kapoor is only an example of how Bollywood celebs must be feeling with no space to grieve in the name of fame. The Kapoor family made sure that the fans got the last glimpse of their icon through the final procession. However, wasn’t it only fair for them to ask for some confidentiality during the final moments? It is just sad that the Aisha actress had to post an official letter on her official Twitter account to request for some own- family-time.

The flashy news headlines and the over- interference of media during such incidents, takes us to the question: When Will the Media Learn Responsible Reporting?
