This Actress Started Bold, Married Into Royalty And Was Even Linked To Imran Khan
1/10 In the film industry, it is often believed that an actress's career comes to an end once she becomes a mother. However, one actress defied this stereotype by beginning her career after marriage and motherhood, making a striking impression with her debut. That actress is Moon Moon Sen, who captivated audiences in the 1980s with her beauty and style. Despite the controversies that surrounded her, Moon Moon Sen left an unforgettable mark on the industry. Beyond acting, she also ventured into politics, achieving success there as well. Moon Moon Sen hails from a wealthy background. Her grandfather, Adinath Sen, was a successful businessman, and her mother, Suchitra Sen, was a celebrated Bengali actress. In 1978, Moon Moon Sen married Bharat Dev Verma, a member of a royal family and a businessman. The couple has two daughters, Riya and Raima Sen, both of whom tried their hand at Bollywood but did not find much success. Moon Moon Sen started her film career at the age of 30, after she was married and a mother, surprising many with her bold choices. Her debut film was Andar Bahar (1984), followed by notable roles in films like the thriller Sheesha (1986) with Mithun Chakraborty, the horror romance 100 Days (1991) alongside Madhuri Dixit and Jackie Shroff and the action drama Zakhmi Dil (1994) with Akshay Kumar. She also starred in Sirivennela (1986), Mohabbat Ki Kasam (1986), Musafir (1986), 12B (2001) and the horror romance Kuch To Hai (2003). Moon Moon Sen appeared in a total of 60 films and over 40 TV shows across Bengali, Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Marathi cinema. Her performance in Sirivennela earned her several awards in 1987. Before entering films, Moon Moon Sen studied English Literature and taught at a school in Kolkata. She is also an Oxford graduate. Later, she joined Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress to pursue a career in politics. Moon Moon Sen's personal life attracted significant media attention. She was linked romantically to Saif Ali Khan, producer Romu Sippy, Victor Banerjee, and former Pakistani cricketer and ex-prime minister Imran Khan. Reports suggested she and Imran Khan dated while she was married, and the two even posed for a magazine shoot. In a 2019 interview with PTI, Moon Moon Sen addressed these rumours, explaining she enjoyed Imran Khan's company and saw no problem as her husband was understanding. She clarified their relationship was purely friendship.

Meet actress who allegedly dated star cricketer, later married into a royal family, sparked controversy due to..., she is...
While most heroines were told their careers ended with motherhood, Moon Moon Sen did the exact opposite. She married into royalty, had two daughters, and then made her big-screen debut at 30. With her first film Andar Baahar in 1984, she raised eyebrows. But it wasn't just her looks that made headlines; it was her confidence and bold choices, both onscreen and off. She later shared screen space with Madhuri Dixit in 100 Days and acted in a string of notable films like Kuch Toh Hai, Zakhmi Dil, Mohabbat Ki Kasam, and Sheesha opposite Mithun Chakraborty. Across Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada films, she appeared in over 60 films and 40+ TV shows. Where did she come from? Born into privilege, Moon Moon was the daughter of Bengali legend Suchitra Sen and granddaughter of a wealthy businessman, Adinath Sen. She was an English literature teacher in Kolkata and studied at Oxford before Bollywood found her. She married Bharat Dev Varma, from a royal lineage, in 1978. The couple has two daughters, Riya and Raima, both of whom tried their hand at acting. What about the Imran Khan connection? The buzz around Moon Moon wasn't limited to her films. Over the years, she was linked to several high-profile names, from Saif Ali Khan and Romu Sippy to Victor Banerjee. But the most talked-about was her alleged affair with former Pakistani cricketer and PM, Imran Khan. The media claimed the two dated and even shot for a magazine together, while Moon Moon was married. In a 2019 interview with PTI, she addressed it, 'I like spending time with Imran. If my husband doesn't have a problem, why should others?' She added that they were just friends. But the buzz never quite died down. Did she stop at films? Nope. Moon Moon later joined politics, becoming a member of Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress and winning a Lok Sabha seat. Politics, like cinema, welcomed her late, but she made it count. Moon Moon Sen's story is one of charm, controversy, and breaking conventions. From teaching English to starring in 6 languages and facing political elections, her script was anything but ordinary.
