Today's the 85th birthday of Suchitra Sen - the legendary actress who
departed us years ago. But still her presence is ensured by her
acting in Bengali as well as in Hindi films. When I was a kid, I used
to go cinema halls with my mother to watch 'Shilpi' or 'Sabar Upare'
devoid of any bias or admiration. It was simply a matter of
astonishment to me as the magic of silver screen made me spellbound. I
never knew who was Suchitra Sen, what was the definition of acting etc
etc. But, her presence was so impressive to me so far as I remember.
Gradually, I became adolescent and as a school-goer I used to pay more
attention to watch movies than my studies, surreptitiously. By course
of time, I became fan of Suchitra Sen. She was the ideal heroine in my
eyes. I already watched her superhit movies like Sare Chuattar,
Shilpi, Agni Pariksha, Indrani, Pathe Holo Deri, Sabar Upare, Ekti
Raat, Chaoa Paoa, Saptapadi, Saat Pake Bandha, Uttar Phalguni, Deep
Jele Jai e
