Soumitra Chatterjee: the poet and the activist behind the actor

Soumitra Chatterjee was more than an actor – he wrote poetry, painted, and always had time to speak up for those without a voice

திரைப்பட கலைஞர் சவுமித்ரா
மனித குலத்தின் எதிர்காலத்திற்கு இடதுசாரி அரசியல்தான் ஒரே மாற்று என்று தயக்கமில்லாமல் கூறியவர் - தோழர் சீத்தாராம் யெச்சூரி #CPIM #WestBengal #LDF #SoumitraChatterjee #Socialist

Sharmila Tagore on #SoumitraChatterjee. Two of Ray's finest proteges. Cultured, refined. Golden. Like vintage wine.

They don't make them anymore.

Lovely tribute to Soumitra Chatterjee and mentions what is well-known, how Chatterjee would have rolled his eyes at the adulation from political leaders in Bengal and at the Centre, who have never been touched by culture, arts or anything cerebral. https://www.telegraphindia.com/culture/people/soumitra-actor-more-than-a-star-cerebral-performer-equally-at-ease-with-apu-and-feluda/cid/1797566
