An Interface with Sharmila Tagore, Soha Ali Khan and Sangeeta Datta Our Guest Speaker, Ms Sharmila Tagore, spoke about her early days in Kolkata and her Bengali upbringing and also a little about women in the film industry then and now Ms Soha Ali Khan, who began her early film career with a Bengali film, added youth and energy to Sharmila’s charm and poise. She spoke about how she completed her masters and went on work with Ford Foundation and Citibank before she found her true calling...
Sangeeta Datta, though based in London, flits in and out of India. A Ph.D. in English literature, she is a trained singer. She founded a film society in London whose aim was to promote and perpetuate a culture of good Indian cinema in the UK. Her debut film “Life Goes On” is a coup of sorts. She is the first director to have Ms Sharmila Tagore and Ms Soha Ali Khan, acting mother and daughter in the film.
