Sharmila Tagore shared that Puratawn, which marks her comeback to Bengali films after 14 years, could be her last in the language. Talking to a news agency, the veteran actor mentioned that her health issues would make it difficult for her to continue, though she expressed her love for working in Bengali cinema. Read on to know more! Sharmila Tagore on not doing Bengali films after Puratawn Talking to PTI, the veteran actress said, “I love doing Bengali films.
I love everything about Kolkata, but I am not as fit (for acting in shoots) as required due to my health conditions.” Taking a trip down memory lane, Sharmila recalled the shooting days and said they were shooting "for 14-15 days together at a resort on the bank of the river Ganga, and we had a great time." Further talking about the comfort of speaking in Bengali, she said that she can "quickly improvise for a dialogue.
After so many years, I could entirely speak in Bengali, my own language, in a movie." She further added that "each and every film appears to be challenging." In a recent interview, Sharmila's daughter Soha Ali Khan spoke about the time when her mother was the breadwinner of their family and told Just Too Filmy, "We are often influenced by people who are close to us, and one big role model for me was my father.
By the time I was born, he had retired from cricket, but he played for the enjoyment of the sport. There was no money at all, if you can believe it, in cricket when my father was playing in the 1960s—no IPL, no endorsements, nothing.” Soha added, "My mother was the breadwinner in the family, so I always saw him saying, ‘You should do what makes you happy.
’ I also saw my mother, who has been an actor her whole life, choosing to do whatever her heart prompted her to do. At the age of 24, she got married—even though typically, as a woman, you wouldn’t do that. You know that when you get married, your career takes a bit of a hit.
She had a child a couple of years later, and she continued to work, achieving some of her biggest successes after that." Get Latest News Live on Times Now along with Breaking News and Top Headlines from Bollywood, Entertainment News and around the world..
