A Bengali actress named Sumi Har Choudhary was recently found in a heart-wrenching state on the streets of Bengal. Locals spotted a middle-aged woman sitting quietly by the roadside near Amila Bazar in West Bengal’s Purba Bardhaman district on Monday. Speaking in English and Bengali, she caught the attention of passersby. She was later identified to be an actress and was reportedly sent to a shelter home by the police.

Sumi reportedly clutched a pen and paper in her hand and spoke incoherently in a mix of Bengali and English. As local passersby noticed her, they couldn't fully understand what she was saying or who she was. A few hours later, after speaking to her and doing a Google search, her identity was finally revealed. The police later confirmed her identity.

According to a The Indian Express report, Choudhury was first noticed by locals when she was seeking shelter from rain at a roadside rest area in Khandaghosh, a locality in the Purba Bardhaman district. When approached by the locals, she introduced herself, saying, “I’m Sumi Har Choudhury, an actress." The locals were curious yet somewhat sceptical, and hence searched her name on the internet. After matching her face with images from her old film and TV appearances, they were convinced of her identity.
