NDTV
Hint: She is best known for her performances in films like Deepa Mehta's 'Fire' (1996)
The popular trend of 'Throwback Thursday' flooded Instagram with a number of old photographs yesterday - including one from actor-director Nandita Das. Nandita Das, 51, reached into her collection of old family photographs to share a black and white picture that shows her with her cousins and her brother, Siddhartha Das. The photograph, blurred with age, shows a much younger Nandita Das sporting a katora cut hairstyle as she smiles for the camera. The katora cut or the bowl cut is so called because it looks like a dish inverted over the head. Sharing the pic on Instagram, Ms Das revealed that she spent a month every summer holiday in Odisha's Baripada -- her father's hometown. Nandita Das is the daughter of Padma Bhushan-winning painter Jatin Das, who was born in Baripada and studied at the Sir JJ School of Art, Mumbai. "#throwback to a time that I miss so much," wrote Nandita Das. "Every summer holiday a month in Baripada, #odisha My cousins and I got a katora cut hair style by my father!"
