Sridevi Boney Kapoor died on February 24 this year owing at the age of 54 due to a case of accidental drowning in Dubai. Her death left many heartbroken considering she was, despite acting in fewer films, still considered a reigning queen in Indian cinema. Bearing this in mind, Switzerland tourism is reportedly considering building a statue in honour of the late actress.

According to reports, Sridevi’s 1989 film Chandni, a popular Hindi film of hers, was shot in Switzerland and fared very well in the country and popularised it further among the Indians. An official from Switzerland’s tourism said:

“Many of [Yash] Chopra’s films featured Switzerland as a backdrop and he is credited with boosting the popularity of the Alpine nation among Indian tourists. Now, considering Sridevi’s role in promoting tourism here, there is a proposal to honour the actor by having her statue here.”

Sridevi has been honoured posthumously several times including winning a National Award for her performance in Mom, an IIFA award for her performance in the same as well as an honorary mention at Cannes Film Festival. A recent honour was in the form of a mural. For her 55th birth anniversary, designer and artist Ranjit Dahiya had an 18-foot tall mural based on her done in Bandra, Mumbai.
