She is still a charm for Bengalis. From Mrinal Sen, Ritwik Ghatak, Satyajit Ray to Purnendu Patri - she was the first choice of every director. We are talking about actress Madhabi Mukherjee. Bengalis who love cinema are still amazed by the veteran actress's performance.

At one time, there was no shortage of gossip about the heroine's personal life. Her name was even associated with director Satyajit Ray. Although all that is in the past now. But there is still a lot of discussion about Madhabi and her husband, Nirmal Kumar. They have been living separately for many years. After 25 years of marriage, they decided to live separately. But even after all these years, the heroine has not divorced her husband.

Why didn't she file for divorce?

The heroine's childhood was not at all happy. The actress grew up seeing her parents' unrest. So, Madhabi decided to live separately, thinking that her daughters would not have a childhood like hers. But she did not divorce her husband, Nirmal Kumar. Because she did not want her child to hear that her mother was divorced.

In many cases, the decision of parents to live separately brings mental problems in the child. This is a pain. She did not want to give that pain to her child. And that is exactly why she chose the path of living separately after a while. Even though they were separated for many years, they were seen together, be it on her husband's birthday or various occasions; they were still together.
