Veteran actress Sulochana Latkar, recognized for her innumerable mom roles in Hindi and Marathi cinema, was cremated with state honours on the Shivaji Park crematorium right here on Monday.
The 94-year-old actor died on Sunday as a consequence of extended sickness at a hospital right here.
Sulochana’s daughter Kanchan Ghanekar carried out the final rites.
Earlier within the day, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, MNS chief Raj Thackeray, actor Jackie Shroff, and actor Sachin Pilgaonkar paid their final respects to the actor at her residence in Prabhadevi.
“The cremation was carried out between 5:30 to five:45 pm with state honours. It was held within the presence of household, colleagues, and buddies like Sonali Kulkarni, Sanjay Manjrekar, Mahesh Kothari, and Sachin Pilgaonkar amongst others,” her grandson-in-law Parag Ajgavkar instructed PTI.
Sulochana began her profession within the Forties and went on to function in over 250 movies in a six-decade-long journey within the motion pictures.
A few of Sulochana’s notable movies are Sasurvas, Vahinichya Bangdya, and Dhakti Jau in Marathi and Aaye Din Bahar Ke, Gora Aur Kala, Devar, Talaash, and Azaad in Hindi.
The actor largely performed the on-screen mom within the Bollywood movies of the Sixties, Nineteen Seventies, and Eighties, virtually invariably wearing a white saree. She labored with all of the lead stars of the period, together with Sunil Dutt, Dev Anand, Rajesh Khanna, Dilip Kumar, and Amitabh Bachchan.
The Hindi blockbuster hits she starred in are Heera, Reshma Aur Shera, Jaani Dushman, Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai, Jhonny Mera Naam, Kati Patang, Mere Jeevan Saathi, Prem Nagar, and “Bhola Bhala”.
She is survived by her daughter Kanchan Ghanekar.
