Nandana Sen: Indian Actress
A sari can be a six-yard wrap, which hides a woman’s physical flaws. Or it can be a piece of fabric that reveals as much as it hides. On Nandana Sen, it just looks sizzling hot. Clad in an abbreviated version of a white sari with a gold border and with hair cascading down to her hips, she reminds us of Zeenat Aman in Raj Kapoor’s Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram.
Next month, we’ll see the actor play Sugandha, a devdaasi and muse to Raja Ravi Varma, in Ketan Mehta’s Rang Rasiya. Varma, a 19th century artist, was famous for his paintings based on mythology, and for his life-like portraits of the country’s elite.
"When I first set about acting, a lot of people felt that it was a clash of identities for a girl hailing from an intellectual family wanting to be an actress. But I have overcome that phase. It is a wrong notion that actors don't make great intellectuals. Today, we have a breed of actors who are extremely intelligent, well read and politically aware".
Nandana Sen or Nandana Dev Sen is a Bollywood actress. Her father Amartya Sen is a 1998 Nobel Prize laureate in economics.
