Suchitra Sen cremated; an enigma even in her final journey (rare pics)

Kolkata: Much like her life after movies, the final journey of legendary actress Suchitra Sen too was a quiet affair with the administration taking measures honouring her wish of keeping her face away from public



But a strong presence of police officers, who had thrown a ring around the pyre, prevented any view as the body was mounted on the pyre and covered with wooden logs as Moon Moon performed the rituals.

Stars and technicians from the Bengali cinema world including the likes of Prosenjit Chatterjee, June Maliah and yesteryear Bollywood actor Biswajit, politicians, senior police officials and doctors who treated her -- all were present at the crematorium where the actress's body was consigned to the flames as teary-eyed fans looked on.
