Kanan Devi: ON THE STAGE / PUBLIC SPEAKING

Unlike most actresses of her time, KANAN did not have a stage background, and her screen performances were never theatrical. When the Mahila Shilpi Mahal was formed, she took part in the plays, mostly in symbolic appearances like the zamindar’s role in Kabi. In Manmoyee Girls School, she played Manmoyee, her only major stage role.

KANAN was an accomplished public speaker, capable of keeping her audience spellbound. Her first platform speaking was at a prize giving function in a school. She had agreed to be present on condition that she would be visible only and not audible. The organizers however announced her name as one of the speakers and she had to go to the microphone and managed to mumble a few words. That was the beginning and from then on she perfected the art and excelled in it.
