Veteran star Moushumi Chatterjee quickly rose to fame after making her debut in Tarun Majumdar’s 1967 film Balika Badhu.
She married producer Jayanta Mukherjee in 1972, when she was in the 10th standard and was just 15 years old at the time.
In a recent interaction, she explained how she got married at such a young age.
'Everyone wanted me as their wife,' Moushumi said, 'because my father-in-law, Hemanta Mukherjee, was the music director of that film. So their family and our family became a thing.'
She revealed that after the film was released, many prospects came to her for marriage.
Her wedding was organised as a last wish of her dying aunt, who held her father-in-law's hand and said, 'Hemanta Babu, can I see her wedding?'
Within a month, the marriage took place.
Recalling how she would spend time playing after coming to Mumbai following her marriage, she said, 'I bought my dollhouse, my small doggy. And then one of my friends also went back and gave her 10th exam because she also missed one year.'
