Veteran actor Sridevi passed away tragically a year ago and the entire country grieved the loss of India's first female superstar. On her death anniversary, the Kapoors including her daughter Jahnvi remembered her fondly and shared heartfelt messages for the late star. 

Now as another token of appreciation, one of her favourite Kota sarees is being auctioned and the proceeds from it will be donated to a trust.
