Veteran Bollywood actress Sridevi passed away on 24 February at the mere age of 54. Her death has left the entire nation in shock and her friends and family can't believe that she's really gone. It's a known fact that the actress loved to paint and painting was one of her greatest hobbies. The actress had painted a portrait of Sonam Kapoor. As per reports, this painting along with a painting she had made of Micheal Jackson was set to be auctioned off in Dubai.

A source had earlier revealed, "Sridevi has been painting for many years. It’s her favourite pastime. In 2010, an international art house approached her to auction her work. But she didn't agree. Since the event in Dubai is for a noble cause, it drew her. Sonam has a massive fan following in Dubai and her popularity has grown in the Middle East after her Project Runway outing with Elli Saab. The bidders are hoping that the painting will sell at a high price. Michael Jackson‘s her personal favourite. The bid on it will start at Rs 8 lakh."

As per reports, the actress had even stayed back in Dubai for the same. Unfortunately, now it looks like everything has come to a halt. Stay tuned for more updates.
