Prosenjit on Sharbari Dutta: Not just a fashion icon, lost an elder sister

Sharbari di was more like an

elder sister

to me, and I have lost her today. Like all good brothers and sisters, we used to share a lot of our personal problems as well as joys. Creativity ran in her blood. When it came to the world of men’s fashion, Sharbari di was a legend. Her creations were popular with

many Bollywood celebrities

too. The way she used to dress up was extremely fashionable, so I suggested her to come up with women's clothing too.
Besides being an iconic designer, she was a fantastic cook too. The way she served food was nothing short of an art. Not many know she was a beautiful singer too and an avid reader of Rabindranath

Tagore

’s books. Her mantra of life was: ‘Aapnake boro boley- boro shei noy, loke jare boro bole- boro shei hoy....’
Hope you know what you were, what you are and what you will always be to us.

Bhalo theko
