Legendary Bengali actress Suchitra Sen was remembered by her granddaughter and actress Raima Sen on the occasion of her 95th birth anniversary on April 6.
The actress took to her social media account to recreate a look that was strikingly similar to her grandmother, Suchitra Sen, from her younger days in the film industry.
In the black and white picture, Raima Sen was seen sporting a retro hairdo – a clean, slightly puffed-up ponytail – along with dark lips, eyeliner and overlined eyebrows. She is wearing a white, high-collar Victorian style blouse with lace detailing.
Sharing the picture on her social media account, Raima captioned the post as, “In loving memory of my Amma.”
