Actor-turned-politicians facing identity crisis

“In films, TV serials and ‘jatras' (folk theatres), I am better known as Moon Moon Sen.

But my mother had named me Srimati and Moon Moon both. My voter card bears the name Srimati Dev Varma,” the 60-year-old actress told voters in Bankura from where she is contesting.

“Not only people, but we are also surprised to know that her real name is not Moon Moon Sen.
