That she was as popular with the rich and famous as among lay readers was evident from the numbers that turned up to pay their last respects. Raj K Raj, a senior photojournalist, said: "I had a photo shoot with her just a week ago. I cannot believe this. Said a bystander: "I was not a friend of hers. I am here just to express my solidarity at the moment.
