The actress died after fighting a long battle against death at the Belle Vue nursing home, but her final journey was a quiet affair honouring her wish of keeping her face away from public gaze, even in death.
Suchitra Sena died early this morning following cardiac arrest, and her body was carried to her Ballygunge residence in a coffin inside a hearse fitted with dark glasses and covered with floral wreaths.
The 'Mahanayika' remained virtually invisible to the public during the entire process.
