Film stars from Bollywood as well as the south Indian film industry were among the mourners at the sports club in the Andheri West area of Mumbai, home to Bollywood.
"Since I heard the news about her death, I have been standing outside her home for two to three hours every day, waiting for one glance," Bhagirathi, an aspiring actress, told BBC Marathi's Abhijeet Kamble. She said she was inspired by Sridevi to try her luck in Bollywood.

Rajan Naidu, who has been a fan of Sridevi since he was a child, said he booked an entire cinema hall in Mumbai when her last movie, English Vinglish, was released in 2012. He even named his daughter after Sridevi.
Another fan, Kalpanaben Kodekar, said she travelled all the way from the neighbouring state of Gujarat to see Sridevi "one last time".
"I'm really grateful that they allowed us inside and not just the celebrities. We'll always feel the void Sridevi's departure has created," she added.
Large numbers of police were deployed outside the star's house, on the procession route and outside the Vile Parle Seva Samaj crematorium where the body was taken.
