      She was the first Paro of Bollywood.She was the only actor in India who has refused to accept the Dadasaheb Phalke Award as she didn’t want to travel to New Delhi in order to collect the honour. We all will miss her.

        Bengal government will give a gun salute to the actor at Keoratala crematorium. Suchitra Sen is still considered to be on the top of popularity from the point of fan following. Her body was escorted out of the hospital by Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee. The actor had always maintained her great charm and poise for which she will be ever remembered as one of the best matinee idol of Bengal.
