Smita Patil, known for her groundbreaking performances and fearless life choices, emerged as a powerful symbol of strength and resilience in Indian cinema. She wanted this power and beauty to reflect even in death. Recently, makeup artist Deepak Sawant appeared on the YouTube channel Reel Meets Real and revealed that the actress wanted to look like a \u201csuhagan” in death.<\/p>\n

Deepak recalled, \u201cSmita Patil used to say mujhe suhagan banake leke jana (I should die a married woman). I used to scold her to not say things like this. She used to say this even to her mother, who would also scold her.”<\/p>\n

The makeup artist recalled how he did her \u2018last\u2019 makeup after her death. He said, \u201cAfter she died, her sister was coming from Chicago, and she took 2-3 days to come. During this time, her body was kept on ice, and it had swollen.”<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cHer mother gave me a make-up kit, and Amitabh Bachchan and other people were sitting there. She gave me the make-up kit in front of them and told me that it was her wish to go as a suhagan. I started crying, and I did her make-up while I was tearing up. I did her last make-up and I made her look very beautiful on her last day.”<\/p>\n

Smita Patil passed away after giving birth to Prateik Babbar. She was married to Raj Babbar at the time, who had left Nadira for the actress. After her death, Raj reunited with Nadira and Prateik was raised by Smita\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

In an old interview with Rediff, Raj Babbar recalled Smita Patil\u2019s final moments. He shared, \u201cThroughout the journey from home to hospital, she kept apologising, and I told her that everything would be okay. She looked at me with tears in her eyes. Her look said it all. The doctor came out after an hour and said she had gone into a coma.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI was part of her, and she was part of me. It is natural that you miss a person who was your heart and soul throughout your life, no matter how brave you may say you are. She and her memories will continue to be part of me till my last day,” the actor had shared.<\/p>\n
