Veteran actor Smriti Biswas, celebrated for her contributions to Hindi, Marathi, and Bengali cinema, passed away at the age of 100 in Nashik, Maharashtra, late Wednesday night, sources confirmed on Thursday. Her death follows complications related to her advanced age.
Biswas, a noted yesteryear actor, lived a modest life in a one-room-kitchen rented flat in the Nashik Road area. Her film career commenced as a child artist, collaborating with iconic filmmakers such as Guru Dutt, V Shantaram, Mrinal Sen, Bimal Roy, BR Chopra, and Raj Kapoor.
