- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @ Bengaluru

Fondly called Abhinaya Saraswati (in Kannada) and Kannadathu Paingili (in Tamil), the superstar starred in over 200 films in a career spanning over seven decades. Saroja Devi passed away due to age-related ailments at her Malleswaram residence in Bengaluru on Monday morning.

The 87-year-old actress' mortal remains were moved from her residence in Malleswaram to Dashavara on a decorated hearse van. Thousands of her fans thronged both sides of the roads to bid adieu to their favourite actress. The procession stopped at key junctions for a few minutes for the public to pay their last respects.

A three-gun salute was given to the actress before the preparation for the last rites began.
