Actor Suchitra Sen is a living legend, someone who has often been compared with Hollywood’s most enigmatic star Greta Garbo for her talent, beauty and elusiveness. After all, few have seen Suchitra Sen since 1995, and no matter how much the present government tries, it is finding it difficult to get her out of this house to get the prestigeous Dada Saheb Phalke Award.

“ I don't think she would go to Delhi to receive the award. She can receive it if any representative comes to her,” said Subrata Mukherjee, a close friend of the Sen family.

Those close to her say Suchitra Sen wants to be remembered as she was - the beautiful heroine who mesmerised thousands – and that no laurel in the world will make her come out.

“If she were to do a role at an advanced stage, I think the audience would accept that. Having said that however, I must say this: the mystique that she has preserved might get shattered if she suddenly breaks the shackles and comes into the open. So it’s an open question, whether one would like to see her again, or prefer to preserve the memory of what she was,” film personality Ashok Viswanathan.

Mystery has been surrounding the actress for a long time – but recently another layer of it seems to have been added, what with TIMES NOW learning that the jury members officially have not received Sen’s nomination for the award yet. Like any film script, here, too, the climax is yet to come!
