Bengali actor Sonali Chakraborty died at a private hospital in Kolkata on Monday following a prolonged illness.

She was 59 and is survived by her actor-husband Shankar Chakraborty and their daughter.

Chakraborty, a well-known face on Bengali television, was suffering from liver complications. She was undergoing treatment at the hospital for months.

She also appeared in films such as ‘Dadar Kirti’ (1980), ‘Har Jeet’ (2002) and ‘Bandhan’ (2004), among others.

She was last seen in mega serial ‘Gaatchora’.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee expressed grief over her demise, extending condolences to the bereaved family.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
