The post featured two photos of the late Verma from his younger days, and in the third picture, he can be seen holding young Raima in his arms.
As reported by ANI, Bharat's health deteriorated quickly, leading his family to request an ambulance from a hospital in the Dhakuria area. Tragically, he passed away before the ambulance arrived.
Bharat Dev Varma was born into the former royal family of Tripura. His mother, Ila Devi, was a princess from Cooch Behar and the elder sister of Maharani Gayatri Devi of Jaipur. His grandmother, Indira, was the only daughter of Searji Rao Gaikwad III, the Maharaja of Vadodara.
In 1978, Bharat married Moon Moon Sen, a well-known actress in Bengali cinema. Moon Moon, who also hailed from royal lineage, was the daughter of the legendary Bengali actress Suchitra Sen and Dibanath Sen, a prosperous businessman from Kolkata.
Her family had strong connections to Tripura's royal heritage, with her great-grandfather, Dinanath Sen, having served as the Diwan (Minister) to the Maharaja of Tripura.
After her marriage and the birth of her daughters, Moon Moon's acting career flourished. She debuted in the film Andar Baahar, where her bold role sparked significant attention.
Throughout her career, she appeared in more than 60 films and 40 television series, earning several awards, including the Andhra Pradesh State Nandi Award for Best Supporting Actress.
