Bhubaneswar: Legendary actress-director-producer Parbati Ghose aka Chapala Nayak breathed her last at a private hospital here late on Sunday. She was 85.
Parbati made her debut with ‘Sree Jagannath’ released in 1950 and her career peaked thereon. ‘Ama Gaon Jhia’, ‘Bhai Bhai’, ‘Maa’ are some of her memorable films. Her powerful performances in ‘Laxmi’ (1962), ‘Ka’ (1965), ‘Stree’(1968), won her national awards. She formed a famed romantic pair with her husband Gour Ghose, who predeceased her.
Parbati’s first directorial debut, ‘Chaa Mana Atha Guntha’, based on Fakirmohan Senapati’s famous novel, received critical acclaim. She is considered a pioneer among women film directors in India. Her films deeply executed the status of woman and the then socio-cultural scenario. Her expressive eyes, typical ‘Odiani’ (Odia woman) look and submissive body language made her one of the finest actress of her time.
A pall of gloom descended on the film fraternity following her demise.
