Meanwhile, very saddened by the disappearance of Chatterjee, Satyajit Ray’s son Sandip Ray shared with ETimes, “What can I say? I have lost someone whose association with me is 60 years old. Soumitra babu had all the necessary elements to be a perfect knight. He was focused, punctual, kind, understanding, loving, and gentle. What stood out the most was the amount of hard work he put behind each role. And you can’t even imagine the amount of homework he did. Not that he didn’t have his light moments with the team when he joked and laughed, but once the camera was turned on, it was something else, just magic. ”
