Moushumi Chatterjee on one major difference between Amitabh Bachchan, Rajesh Khanna: ‘Big B never surrounded himself with chamchas, Kaka needed that’

Moreover, the Bengali actor, whose first language isn’t Hindi, also said that Rajesh Khanna used to have fun while teaching her how to abuse. “He used to teach me abuses. He used to laugh because I used to just say it. I was innocent, I didn’t know what was the meaning,” she said.

Moushumi’s father-in-law Hemant Kumar passed away in 1989, due to a cardiac arrest. Talking about how his death affected her, she expressed, “When Hemant Kumar died, for the first time I felt in Bombay that I am an orphan. Any fight I used to have with my husband, he was always on my side. Even if I said I want to divorce your son and get married, he would still say that I will be with you.”

On the work front, Moushumi Chatterjee recently made a comeback to Bengali cinema after 12 years with a family drama Aari, helmed by Jiit Chakraborty. She essayed the role of a mother to Yash Daasguptaa, also starring Nussrat Jahan.
