The reason of her staying away from public life, however, remains a mystery. Hardly anyone from outside her close circuit has seen her face in the last three decades.Īfter her 1978 movie 'Pronoy Pasha' with actor Soumitra Chatterjee flopped, Sen disappeared from the public view and even allegedly refused the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2005 to keep herself away public appearance. When the body was brought for the last rites at Keoratala Crematorium in south Kolkata, it was kept in a coffin and later on brought to the pyre hidden from the public eye. Sources close to her family said this was done keeping with the last wishes of the veteran actress whose acting prowess and magnetic personality had mesmerised audiences in Bengali as well as Hindi films like 'Agnipariksha', 'Devdas', 'Saat Paake Bandha' 'Aandhi' and' 'Deep Jele Jai'. Onlookers, news channel cameras and thousands of those who gathered at the hospital, outside her house and at the crematorium to mourn her death, were left disappointed after being unable to see her face. The screen icon remained an enigma even in her death as the hearse carrying her body was covered with white flowers and black-tinted glass making it difficult for fans to catch a glimpse of the star. It will forever remained a secret how reclusive actress Suchitra Sen, who was hardly seen in public in the last 35 years, looked in her last days.
