Bharat Dev Varma, the husband of actress Moon Moon Sen and father of actresses Raima and Riya Sen, passed away at his Kolkata home on Tuesday (November 19, 2024). According to ANI, Bharat's health declined rapidly, prompting his family to call for an ambulance from a hospital in the Dhakuria area. Unfortunately, he passed away before the ambulance could arrive.
Bharat was a descendant of the former royal family of Tripura. His mother, Ila Devi, was a princess from Cooch Behar and the older sister of Maharani Gayatri Devi of Jaipur. His grandmother, Indira, was the sole daughter of Searji Rao Gaikwad III, Maharaja of Vadodara.
In 1978, Bharat Dev Varma wed Moon Moon Sen, a prominent figure in Bengali cinema. Moon Moon, who also has royal heritage, is the daughter of legendary Bengali actress Suchitra Sen and Dibanath Sen, a wealthy businessman from Kolkata.
Her family had deep ties to Tripura’s royal legacy, as her great-grandfather, Dinanath Sen, had served as the Diwan (Minister) to the Maharaja of Tripura.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee took to her X account to express her grief over Bharat's demise. The tweet read, "Saddened by the demise of Bharat Dev Varma, the husband of filmstar Moon Moon Sen, and himself a great well-wisher of mine. He was indeed very loving and affectionate to me and I shall always treasure his memories."
It continued, "He truly considered me as part of his family and his demise is a great loss for me. After getting the news today morning, I visited their Ballygunge residence, where their daughter Riya was present. Moon Moon and Raima are coming from Delhi. I paid my respect to the departed and condolences to the family."
