In a conversation with ETimes an hour ago, Sandip Ray said: “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 gentleman. He was focused, punctual, kind, understanding, caring, 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 he laughed, but once the camera was turned on, it was something else, just magic. ”
Speaking about Soumitra Chatterjee’s work, Sandip Ray said: “He did various colorful characters in my father’s movies and they were all very successful. He loved my father’s techniques. He used to come home on my father’s birthday and show respect even after my father passed away in 1992. ”
Sandip Ray last met Soumitra Chatterjee in late September, a few days before he was hospitalized for COVID-19. “His daughter was making an archive of his various qualities such as elocution, theater, painting, acting. He was giving interviews there, he was very animated and animated that day.”
Sandip Ray was in frequent contact with Soumitra Chatterjee’s daughter during the legendary actor’s period of hospitalization. “It is extremely unfortunate that Soumitra babu no longer exists. Men like him are rare nowadays. Let’s just say ‘they don’t make men like him anymore.”
