A child-prodigy, Ms. Sushmita Sen started her acting-career at age of four. Now in mid-forties, she portrayed every imaginable difficult character, elevating her to country’s most famous stage-actress.
Tonight, she had an age-progressive dual-role in a socio-political drama. In the beginning, she was a dazzling young woman. As the plot advanced, she became a widow appearing in all-white. A sudden thought crystallized. Her acting-career was coming to an end yielding to a younger generation. She froze, stood speechless in dark, and lowered eyes, a few droplets rolling down.
The audience understood, rewarding her curtain call with an everlasting standing ovation.
