 "Asit Chowdhury had thrown a party after she won the award. Sharmila Tagore and me, we were very young then and we saw how she, very playfully, re-enacted the scene from the film where she tears (lead actor) Soumitra Chatterjee's vest...all in the middle of the starry gathering.

		+	=Gulzar's reminiscences=
		+	''' Suchitra was ‘Sir’ to my entire crew '''
		+
		+	'' Gulzar Pays Tribute To The Legend Who Died On Friday ''
		+
		+	(As told to ''' Ratnottama Sengupta ''' )
		+
		+	She’s the only one actor for whom we — all of us on the sets of Aandhi — would stand up.
		+
		+	She’s the only one actor who was always referred to as Mrs Sen.
		+
		+	She’s the only one actor I have always addressed as ‘Sir’.
		+
		+	Let me talk about this ‘Sir’ business first.
		+
		+	When Suchitra Sen came on the sets of Aandhi the first day, I got busy explaining the scene to her. “Yes Sir,” she responded. I was embarrassed. “The tradition in India,” I told her, “is to address the seniors as ‘Sir’, so I will address you as ‘Sir’.” No, she said, “you are the director, so you are my ‘Sir’.” Soon she was ‘Sir’ to every unit member!
		+
		+	It wasn’t ‘respect at first meeting’, though. We had a stormy encounter when I first met her in the early 60s, to narrate a script I had penned for producer Sohanlal Kanwar. She heard me in silence, then demanded a few changes. “I don’t like this, that situation should be changed, this character should say that...” I was peeved. “I have worked on the script for six months…I can’t make these changes... After all, I’ve learnt from icons like Bimal Roy!”
		+
		+	She didn’t do that film.
		+
		+	''' A STAR & A RECLUSE '''
		+
		+	Born Rama Dasgupta, entered films as Suchitra in 1952 and went on to act in 52 Bengali and 7 Hindi films
		+
		+	She played Paro to Dilip Kumar’s Devdas, winning a national award; and opposite Sanjeev Kumar in Aandhi, in a role resembling Indira Gandhi
		+
		+	Paired with Uttam Kumar in 30 films, the duo became Bengali cinema’s first couple
		+
		+	Remained a recluse after she quit acting in the 70s. Died in a Kolkata hospital on Friday after prolonged illness at 83
		+
		+	''' The most respected actress '''
		+
		+	Many years later, when I had graduated from writing Aashirwad, Khamoshi, Anand and Guddi to directing Mere Apne, Koshish, Achanak and Parichay, producer J Omprakash asked me to do a film with Sanjeev Kumar and Suchitra Sen. He had a script by Sachin Bhowmik which I didn’t like. But Sanjeev Kumar was very keen toworkwithMrs Sen. “Kisi tarah unko wahan se bulana hai,” Om prakash ji told me. I said, “Give me a different script.” I had an idea on which I started work — and no, it didn’t take off from Kamleswar’s Kaali Aandhi which was written after the film’s release.
		+
		+	I developed the plot around the chance meeting of a married couple after yearsof separation during which the wife has become a leading politician who, during an election campaign, happens to stay in the hotel run by her estranged husband. When the script was ready I went to Kolkata.
		+
		+	The minute she saw me Mrs Sen said, “Aami kichhui bolbo naa (I won’tsuggest any change this time). Promise, promise, promise — teen sattyi — I’ll do exactly as youtell meto!”
		+
		+	This ‘Mrs Sen’ bit I picked up in Kolkata when I went to script Rahgir for Tarun Majumdar. Every one, even Hemant Da (Mukherjee) would talk of her as ‘Mrs Sen’. And though she had not stepped into the studio for years, they would talk of ‘Mrs Sen’s makeup room’ and Mrs Sen’s choice of food — maachh, naturally. This respect for an actress was unique. No other actress before her or since has been accorded this status — not even highly regarded names like Nutan, Nargis or Suraiya.
		+
		+	It’s true that some of this regard — or awe, some may say — was created by keeping people at a distance. She was very reserved because she was very careful with her personal life. But, though she habitually kept people at abeyance, once she accepted someone, s/he became part of her ‘family’.
		+
		+	At this hour, a line won’t leave me. Tere bina zindagi bhi koi zindagi to nahin... Life — of one whole generation, even beyond barbed wires — lost much of its life when she quit the screen. And those who’ve not recognized this are losers, be they called Phalke or Padma.
		+
		+	Sir wouldn’t lose her sleep over this.
