Anupam Ji, it’s neither Istanbul, nor Sridevi.
One of the best actor in Indian Cinema Anupam Kher had many films with one of the most popular Indian Actress Sridevi who died recently.
Entire Indian Media covered up the unfortunate death of the actress from parties to bathroom to even bathtub. By many this was considered lowest days of journalism.
Anupam Kher tweeted a video of a Coffee/ Latte art claiming to be from Istanbul, Turkey by a coffee maker drawing face of Sridevi. He although mentioned that he received this on message, WhatsApp in all probability.
Latte art is a method of preparing coffee created by pouring steamed milk into a shot of espresso and resulting in a pattern or design on the surface of the latte. It can also be created or embellished by simply “drawing” in the top layer of foam. –Wikipedia

Missing an old co-actor, may be a friend by Anupam Kher may make him believe in such messages he receive on WhatsApp about Sridevi, but this one certainly is false.
His tweet has been retweeted more than 600 times, video is seen by approx 30K people.
The final result below might be similar to Sridevi’s face but is not her.
Even Zee News’ Marathi site posted it believing on Anupam Kher

The video Anupam Kher tweeted was trimmed and clipped i.e the dimensions were small from the original one and duration was lesser too.
It’s quite possible that the video might be made by some other branch, other location, other country of the same international chain but the video is by them only.
The Cup used in the video in which the Latte is being poured also has the logo of Gloria Jeans Cafe on it. Cup too is of same shape and color as used in the cafe.
Different design by Cambodia Branch
Many others have also posted this video last year
