KOLKATA, Jan 26 (PTI): Veteran Bengali film actress Supriya Devi died of a severe cardiac arrest at her residence early Friday, her daughter said. She was 85.
Born in 1933, Supriya Devi was known for her work over five decades. She had made her debut in Uttam Kumar-starrer 'Basu Parivar' in 1952 and never looked back after 'Sonar Harin' opposite Uttam Kumar in 1959.
'Chowringhee', 'Bagh Bandi Khela' and 'Meghe Dhaka Tara' were among her classics.
She received the Padma Shri and West Bengal government's highest civilian award Banga Vibhushan.
"Very saddened at the passing of legendary actress of Bengal, Supriya Chowdhury (Debi). We will fondly remember her through her films. Condolences to her family and fans," West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said in a tweet.
