In Kolkata, Suchitra Sen does not meet her fans, journos or even heads of state. But she isn’t the only rigidly reclusive celebrity.
No one can pry Nanda, 69, from her suburban home for a public or award function. She’s in touch with her buddies — Waheeda Rehman, Asha Parekh and Jabeen Jalil — but will not be seen dining at a restaurant or shopping.
Nalini Jaywant is 82 today, and sequestered in her Chembur home. At a furlong’s distance, lived Ashok Kumar and till his death seven years ago, often said that he would like to meet her for old time’s sake, only if she would let him. He had teamed up with her in some of his best black-and-white films (Samadhi, Sangram). They had also been connected romantically, a piece of vintage gossip that Dadamoni would recall gleefully.
The hit girl of the 1960s suffered from an eye defect and has stopped being seen around after that. The south Mumbai girl, who became legendary for her fringe, is now in Juhu, ostensibly happy with her kitty gang.
Sulochana aka Ruby Myers passed away lonely and forgotten in 1983 in her flat in Bombay. A sad end for the woman who once became famous for drawing a larger salary than the Governor of Bombay and who even acted in a film named after her - Sulochana.
