To commemorate National Jewel Day, actor-writer Nandana Dev Sen, the younger daughter of writer Nabaneeta Dev Sen and Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen, posted this photograph on her Instagram handle with the caption: ‘Ma was almost inseparable from this #beautiful mangalsutra, as friends will remember. It was her favorite because of its simple elegance (not its #marriage symbolism). And she sweetly let me wear it often, for I loved it too!’
