#BasuChatterjee, the man who gave us so many enchanting and memorable films, is no more. Had the opportunity to meet him a few times and I have yet to meet a younger soul in his 80s... Sir, your films will stay eternal, just like the smell of Rajnigandha. #RestinPeace

Have been fortunate enough to have met Basu Chatterjee, "You know what, Rajnigandha was made in 3.5 lakhs," he said. "Money can't buy you the art of telling a story, you need a soul and some money ofcourse!"
He has been a great inspiration to many, including me. #BasuChatterjee🙏
