Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Friday expressed profound shock at the demise of legendary actress Suchitra Sen, creator of a classical history in the Bengali cinema, reports BSS. In a message of condolence, the Prime Minister said Suchitra Sen - the Greta Garbo of Bengali movies - was one of her favourite actresses and a figure whom she admired deeply.  “Bengali people have lost a distinctive figure of classical Bengali daughter, wife and caring mother at her death,” she said.
