Kolkata, Jan 17 (Calcutta Tube / IBNS): The Bengali film and theatre world lost one of its most accomplished actors on Monday as actor Gita Dey died at a private hospital after a cardiac arrest. She was 80.

Dey, 80, had been admitted to a north Kolkata medical facility early last month due to old age problem.
She acted in both the theatre and cinema right up to the age of 14. Her marriage at the age of 15 to Ashim Kumar Dey, a businessman at Taltala, stalled her acting career for a while. After five years of marital bliss, she returned to the world of show biz. She came in touch with the veteran of the Bengali stage Sisir Bhaduri. He took the young star under his fold.
The last play she acted in was Badsahi Chaal in 1996 directed by Ganesh Mukherjee staged at Ragana theatre in north Kolkata.
