Helmed by Ravi Udyawar Mom featured Akshaye Khanna and Nawazuddin Siddiqui opposite to Sridevi who plays Mom who takes revenge on spoiled brats who raped her daughter.

The actress was also honoured at the In Memoriam section at the Oscars 2018.

We also take this opportunity to thank all our friends, her fans who have been sending us congratulatory messages. Thank you, Janhvi, Khushi & Boney Kapoor.''
