Subhashree, the reigning queen of Bengali cinema, is a wife and a mother, making her the perfect example of a modern successful woman.
“I love running. It is the best way to stay fit. I run for the joy it gives. It is liberating and refreshing,” said Subhashree, who is a fitness freak. “Come and join the Ananda Run to start on your fitness journey or just to soak up the spirit of Kolkata and see the five kilometres breeze past in a collective rush. I will be waiting for you at the finish line. Kolkata…otho natun joshe natun run e maato!” added Subhashree, who won the Anandalok Nayikar Khonje in 2006.
