Prosenjit with wife Arpita

With dad Biswajit

He sat in the audience and lapped up the show put together by his colleagues but whenever he was called on stage, Prosenjit shook a leg. First with wife Arpita to the peppy track Bhalobashbo chirodin shudhu tomake, and then with dad Biswajit Chatterjee to Pukarta chala hoon main. The programme, Aparajito Prosenjit 30 Years, was a tribute to Prosenjit, hosted by Zee Bangla Cinema with Artistes’ Forum and Federation of Cine Technicians and Workers of Eastern India, to mark the actor’s 30 years in Tollywood at Netaji Indoor Stadium on Saturday evening. “It really took some time for the feeling to sink in... that I have spent 30 years of my life in Tollywood! All I know is that I want to offer even better films in the years to come,” said Prosenjit, cutting his birthday cake two weeks in advance. Pictures: Rashbehari Das
