Even as the nation, the film fraternity in particular, is mourning the shocking death of multilingual superstar Sridevi, speculations have been rife on what really might have caused her untimely demise.
It's puzzling to most people that how such a beautiful and healthy woman could succumb to a cardiac arrest at the age of 54. It is well known that Bollywood artistes, especially those who are as active as Sridevi, pay great attention to preserving their beauty and health.
Social media as well as Sridevi's fans are busy trying to find out what really caused the death of the actress. While some blame it on the tension that could've been building up in Sridevi ahead of the release of her daughter Janvi's debut film, others say the recent cosmetic alterations could have been the real cause.

Sridevi was just 54. But she was required to look like a woman of 40. That's what society wanted from her. The pressure that it caused on her wasn't less, a make-up artist of repute said in a Facebook post.
Sridevi was always pressed to keep her weight low. This is an undeniable truth. Sridevi underwent several surgeries, including some in foreign countries, to stay as Bollywood's fashion icon and, above all, to be beautiful at all times as she herself wanted.
Cosmetic surgery is common among movie stars, but it's no secret that Sridevi was a step ahead of others in this. There's a long history behind the multiple surgeries that Sridevi had to undergo to maintain her physical beauty intact.
Sridevi had started such surgeries right from the days she began her journey to Bollywood. Reports had appeared that she relied on such surgeries to survive at the top in the Bollywood rat race and ensure the looks needed to keep the title of the lady superstar.
A surgery that Sridevi had on her nose recently to improve her features was a big news. Her lips too looked different of late. She had in fact denied reports that the changes were due to surgical intervention.
Sridevi had told interviewers that she took extreme care about her health, doing yoga regularly and playing tennis on four days a week. Besides, the star said, she never ate junk food or food items that are sweet and fatty.

There were also reports that the star had undergone several surgeries to remove fat and maintain the shape of breasts. She also had laser treatment to keep the skin fresh.
Such surgeries do help keep the beauty, but put tremendous pressure on the body, and weaken the heart.
Occasional medical check-ups can help detect problems of heart to a certain extent. It's hard to believe that a big artiste like Sridevi never did health checks promptly. She could be having a family doctor too. It makes people wonder why this happened to her in spite of all that.
In fact, a cardiac arrest can occur without any warning. That could be the case regarding Sridevi's, it's presumed. A heart attack occurs when the arteries that carry blood to the heart get blocked. Normally, the heart's function is affected by diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, erratic life style, excess use of intoxicants and so on.
Sridevi's death sends a loud warning signal to movie stars in the light of the fact that fame brings immense pressure. Those who chase more fame and remain in the rat race should not forget to take care of their health as well.
