I moved to a new school when I was 10. My neighbour, who knew me already, introduced me to others in the school bus as Mithun Chakraborty s cousin. This spread like, as I am told, wildfires do, and caused me much shame. Mithun, for all his popularity, was a Disco Dancer. I was a junior
bhadralok. But the memory of our fictitious kinship came to my aid 25 years later.
That was at a London hotel where I was holidaying with wife and 9-month-old. The hotel had an annoying practice of levying an extra five-pound tray charge every time one ordered room service. On our third day, the Polish gent who was taking my order noticed my surname. Any relation of Mithun Chakraborty? he asked. He is my cousin, I replied without batting an eyelid. I am a big fan, Sir, the man said. From now, there ll be no tray charge for you.
Kolkata: The timing could not have been better when Prakash Javadekar, the Union Information and Broadcasting Minister, announced at a meet-and-greet session with the Who’s Who of Bengali film industry on Monday that a national level film award would be instituted in the name of the iconic director Satyajit Ray.
While no further details on the award were available, it is believed that it would be somewhat in the lines of the Dada Saheb Phalke award - hitherto considered as the highest honour in Indian cinema. This being the birth centenary year of Ray, the Oscar-winning director who is considered to be Bengal’s biggest cultural icon after the Nobel laureate bard Rabindranath Tagore, there are no prizes for guessing that the mileage in bestowing this honour on him on the threshold of the West Bengal elections is too lucrative to let go.
