Mrs.Sen's death didn't made much of a difference to me in the morning when i received the news of her demise from my sister. She was 82,aging,ailing, fragile,bed ridden! But, It was much much later, in the evening when i was watching 'DEEP JWELE JAI' (one of my personal favorite),i couldn't stop my tears! Towards the film's climax, there is this scene where Sen is being escorted by few nurses admitting her to the same ward where she herself used to be a nurse previously. She is a patient now, and she whispers out "I wasn't acting, I couldn't" indicating that she indeed fell in love with her patient, and she just breaks down uncontrollably... i couldn't control my tears at that point, weeping hysterically for sometime!
We have lived decades watching,loving,discussing,cherishing her as Romola, as Paro, as Pannabai/Suparna, as Atashi, as Aarati, as Sagarika, as Indrani, as Dr. Roma Banerjee, as Reena Brown, as Radha, as Kamallata, as Sarat Chandra's Rajlakshmi, Bijoya, Achala... as Bankim Chandra's Prafulla and we shall continue doing the same.
Mrs. Sen... i won't miss your presence, because i have known you only through your filmography,through your onscreen charisma, your breath taking screen presence,i had never ever waited for any of your forthcoming film,nor waited in the long queue at a nearby theater waiting for the first day first show of any of your flick, but you have always remained a personal favorite. So like always..i shall keep watching your films and cherish the aura of an iconic legendary superstar!! Rest in Peace Mrs. Sen!
