She was sister of late actor-filmmaker Guru Dutt.
Lalitha Lajmi was born to a poet father and a poly-linguist writer mother in Kolkata in 1932.
She found her calling in painting. An unparalleled water-colourist, through her works she narrates a layered history of the modern Indian woman in the decades that followed Independence.
