I happen to be an admirer of Roma Sen (or the film actress Suchitra Sen), though I do not let my admiration drown in syrupy panegyric so typical of Indian (especially Bengali) biographers. Almost all accounts (including Chatterji's) on this woman project her persona as a majestic and mysterious icon--all gold, no dross. We have little idea of Roma Sen as a human being with her foibles and forte. We need a credible biography (not a hagiography) of this most deserving film personality of West Bengal. We need to know her odyssey as well as her backstage personality--what we Bengalis call Jibancharit and what we have--"Roma-yana".
