Born in Kolkata, my mother spent most of her childhood playing sports and excelling at it; she became the national swimming champion and Bengal’s sizzling water baby.

My mother is beautiful in a very unique way. She has the biggest heart, the purest soul and a completely selfless way of life. She is always there to help, whether it’s someone in the family who needs anything or someone completely unknown.

The Big deal A champion swimmer, who won the Miss India title in 1976, runner-up at the Miss International contest in 1977, she was also a jockey at the Kolkata Gymkhana in 1979.
