Khela is ending on the 12th july 2008 on Zee Bangla!!One feels really strange and void that one will not shoot as dr shurjo sen any more.it pains!!one feels as if a family is breaking down!! i still remember 23rd november 2006,the first day i was called up by the associate director,mr.biswajit ganguly on the advice of mr.ravi ojha to ask me to screen-test for khela!! one remembers his first day of shoot with tumpa and mr deepankar de!! i knew i had to strike a chord i have been wanting to strike,for the last 6 years,since i have been approaching mr ravi ojha and mr anindyo banerjee(associate director of ek akasher niche)on the sets of ek akasher niche!! i felt like a new person after dr.shurjo sen was created,enacted and telecasted!! on professional front though,one was/still is,a bit bitter as khela really and strangely didn't open up all doors infront of me with great offers(inspite of this thumping success,great feedbacks from the industry,press and the channel)but the continuous barrage of encouraging feedbacks in public places,in and out of kolkata, emails, letters, telephone calls,scraps on orkut etc. from my fans,friends and relatives, gave me the extreme creative satisfaction that no award or offer could give me!! every passing day,for the last 2 years, when i refused many offers, as i didnt want to do anything inconsequential after khela,i felt a bit worried if i was right at refusing them,but "smack" came these simply astounding feedbacks from completely unknown people...and by feedbacks i don't mean the mundane-"APNAKE KHUB BHALO LAGE" or "AMI REGULAR KHELA DEKHI"!!completely unknown people have come up to me and commented on dr.shurjo sen with so much genuine emotions that i was taken aback!i was completely surprised to find out the concentration and depth with which these viewers watched my character in khela and with so much minute details,which i thought was impossible in a medium like television,which is ruled by a very vociferous weapon in the viewer's hand-THE REMOTE CONTROL!! i started to believe in myself and my work and felt that "yes"i have connected... inspite of no official recognitions, nominations or awards...(rather neglect and unwanted insult instead)... i prepared myself to wait for something better and different and i can tell u..waiting can be very very very taxing and dangerous!!i thank everyone of my friends who has supported me unconditionally and liked my work immensely,again,without whom i would have been very very frustrated at not getting my dues!! i still have a long way to go.i have left every damn thing in life,right from a secured,wealthy life of a marine engineer to a very very very very hard and insecured life of an actor(many feel that glamour and respect as an actor comes very easily!!)..it was done with a calculated risk in mind...so here i am,with full of hope and possiblities and waiting for another stepping stone which will take my aspirations to prove myself,ahead!! will it be "rajpoth"????or a film??? who knows???

Youth losing their sense of respect towards elders?

Thanx a lot to shantanu and sucheta for their comments. yes shantanu i feel at times that this younger generation is loosing their sense of respect towards the elders.but we the elders are to be blamed for it.we are letting them do so.don't you read the multiple incidents when the school and college teachers are attacked by parents and relatives of the students who are punished???i think we are heading to a dangerous future..towards extinction!!it will be a full circle when this society will live in the jungles once more!! ya sucheta..i really hope that whatever you have wished, comes true.Of all the experiences i have been gathering in my life..one thing is clear,a person is not respected for his good qualities as a humanbeing...he is respected for what he or she has materially achieved in life,by whatever means possible!!But i prefer to achieve it by my merits solely..!!
