Description:

Kanan Devi (22 April 1916 – 17 July 1992) was an Indian actress and singer. She was among the early singing stars of Indian cinema, and is credited popularly as the first star of Bengali cinema. Her singing style, usually in rapid tempo, was used instrumentally in some of the biggest hits of New Theatres, Kolkata.

Kanan Devi was the first super star of Bengali cinema. An epitome of beauty, glamour and grace and the recipient of the prestigious Dada Saheb Phalke Award (1976), Kanan’s life story  transcends that of Eliza Doolittle in “Pygmalion” and “My Fair Lady”.
