Dev Varma dead
Bharat Dev Varma, the husband of Moon Moon Sen and a member of the royal family of the erstwhile princely state of Tripura, passed away at his Ballygunge home on Tuesday morning. He was 83. The couple have two daughters, actors Raima and Riya. An ambulance from a private hospital in south Kolkata was sent to his home but Dev Varma died before medical assistance could reach him, a source said. Dev Varma, who was lovingly called Habi, acted in Memories in March along with the late Rituparno Ghosh and Deepti Naval. Chief minister Mamata Banerjee, who visited the house, said Sen, a former Trinamool parliamentarian, was in Delhi. “It is a great loss. I have lost a well-wisher,” Mamata said.
