Timeline

1923

Nilima Chattopadhyay was born in 1923 at Shiuri, in Birbhum district of undivided Bengal in a Brahmin orthodox family but was brought up in Muzaffarpur district of Bihar. While in her teens Nilima used to dream of the beautiful heroines of her time and dreamed that one day her name would find place by the side of Kanan Devi, Leela Desai, Chandrabati, Menaka Devi, Jamuna Barua, Sandhyarani and others. Films of New Theatres were household names by then and one day she sent an application to New Theatres' along with a photograph. Her younger brother Ranajit was her only friend and confidante and gave her encouragement. Her letter was answered and she was called for an interview at N. T. and had to undergo a rigorous session of interrogation before finally being selected and Nilima's screen name became Sumitra Devi. On the family front she faced a lot of obstacles from father Murali Chattopadhyay, an advocate by profession. However she could overcome all odds only through her determination to enter the film world and it was the prestigious New Theatres where she could make her first film contract for My Sister. However, she was immediately offered another role by Debaki Kumar Bose in Sandhi and this film was a great hit and Sumitra received that year's Best Actress Award from BFJA. Apurba Mitra was credited as the director of the film but it was Debaki Bose, Apurba's uncle, who did the job of direction for this super hit film that was re-made several years later. My Sister was released after Sandhi. All through the early period of her stardom, Sumitra was troubled by domestic affairs, her totally non co-operative family and finally a marriage at Bhagalpur which ended in a divorce. She became a star with her first films and her extremely beautiful face was used to best advantage by film directors and cameramen.
