<i>Discovering Suchitra Sen</i>
Once Suchitra Sen lived in Pabna! The legendary 'first lady of Bangla cinema' was living in Pabna, Bangladesh, before the partition. I came to know this from Mr. Shahnoor Wahid's write-up in the Art & Entertainment page entitled 'Discovering Roma Das Gupta'. I became astonished and excited at the same time. Then Suchitra Sen was Roma Das Gupta. Her father Karunamoy Das Gupta was the sanitary inspector of Pabna at that time. What a golden memory! Whatever, during partition Karunamoy Das Gupta migrated to West Bengal (Kolkata). Years later, this Roma Das Gupta turned into Suchitra Sen of Bangla cinema. There is a saying-- 'old is gold'. Mr. Shahnoor Wahid's write-up was really interesting. I would request him to write more about it.
