Last updated on: October 22, 2024 12:07 IST

It was a rare treat to see Sharmila Tagore and her children Saif Ali Khan, Soha Ali Khan and Saba Pataudi at the premiere of her Bengali film Puratawn (The Ancient) at the ongoing MAMI Film Festival in Mumbai.

Sharmila Tagore returns to Bengali cinema after 15 years.

Her last Bengali film, Antaheen was directed by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury and had released in 2009.

In an interview, Sharmila had once told us that she didn't really miss this world when she was away.

'But when you face the camera, you realise how wonderful this world is too.'
