In her old age, Ragini Devi was supported by her
daughter Indrani Rahman, but staying in Bandra, a suburb in Mumbai, she
was not being looked after. Dr Mulk Raj Anand, Harindranath
Chattopadhyaya and other eminent citizens arranged for her to return to
the US and she was taken care of at "Actor's Home" in New Jersey.
Started in 1882, Actor's Home is a unique institution where old and
needy actors, dancers, musicians and the like are looked after.
