Suchitra Sen, the iconic Bengali beauty remained an unsolved mystery to everyone. She never allowed anyone to intrude in her solitude till her last breath.
The legendary actress was born on 6th April 1931. On her 87th birth anniversary let us cherish the good memories that she left behind. It is good to know that it was her husband who pushed her towards the film industry. That was because he was aware of her talents and potentialities. When she was only 21, she appeared on the silver screen for the first time with 7 months old Moon Moon Sen on her lap.
With time Bengali film industry got the most amazing pair of Uttam Kumar and Suchitra Sen. They worked together in more than 25 films, for over 30 years.
Suchitra Sen bagged the “Best Actress” at the Moscow Film Festival for the film “Saat Paake Badha”. Her first Hindi movie was Bimal Roy’s Devdas. Unfortunately, in her personal life, she took a few steps backward. Her husband left for America, and soon expired. Probably her chemistry with Uttam Kumar was rumoured to a greater extent but she never disclosed anything of that sort. Her deep respect and affection for the legendary actor was never brought out to the public. But on his last day, she did not attend the funeral.
