00:30Today, I will talk to him.
00:32I will get to know him through the stories of Supriya Chowdhury,
00:36which many of us are unaware of.
00:37Welcome to ETV Bharat.
00:39SUPRIYA CHOWDHURY Thank you.
00:40How are you, sir?
00:41I would like to know that.
00:42SUPRIYA CHOWDHURY I am fine.
00:42Tell me, I am even happier that you are here.
00:46I am also happy to be here.
00:50So, what I will say first is that actress Supriya Chowdhury,
00:53artist Supriya Chowdhury, along with her,
00:57Mahanao Kuttam Kumar,
00:58Sangini Bandhu,
01:00Sevika,
01:01Supriya Chowdhury.
01:02I will get to know all of this through you.
01:04Supriya Chowdhury, it's nice to meet you.
01:06SUPRIYA CHOWDHURY Supriya Chowdhury,
01:08the one who was very familiar with me,
01:10she is not.
01:11She is a little older than me,
01:13and there are other things as well.
01:14But I would like to start with an incident.
01:16Once, on the birthday of Hrithik Ghatak,
01:19in Bodhai TV,
01:22there was an ashram.
01:25Supriya was coming there.
01:28She came a little later,
01:29just 2-3 minutes later,
01:31but she came with a lot of difficulty,
01:32saying that I am only for Hrithik Ghatak,
01:35only for Hrithik Ghatak,
01:36otherwise I wouldn't have come.
01:37Her knee replacement had been operated.
01:41So, she came.
01:43When she came,
01:44everyone told her to take rest for 2-3 minutes.
01:47She was crying, crying very loudly.
01:49She is 78 years old.
01:51So, she was taking rest.
01:55I was sitting next to her.
01:58I was looking at her leg.
02:00She suddenly looked at me.
02:01People were looking at her leg,
02:03and she was laughing a little unimpressed.
02:06I was also very nervous.
02:08I said, I was looking at your leg.
02:11She said, leg?
02:12I said, why leg?
02:13She said, Hrithik Ghatak uses the leg.
02:16I said, why?
02:18She said, to make a goddess statue,
02:20you need a long neck.
02:22Your leg is very long.
02:24I said, I didn't think about it.
02:26She said, you said it in a story.
02:28What do you know about it?
02:30I didn't know about it.
02:32You said, you have written it.
02:34So, the day she came to meet me for the first time,
02:36we were talking,
02:38at Ganga Prasad Mukherjee's house.
02:40I had an appointment at 5 o'clock.
02:42The shooting would get delayed.
02:44I couldn't reach by 5 o'clock.
02:46She shouted,
02:48My name is Siddharth.
02:50I was in a hurry.
02:52I saw a long beard on the other side.
02:54I didn't know when I would come.
02:56I was in a hurry.
02:58I went to my name.
03:00I lost my hair.
03:02I lost my hair.
03:04I didn't know what to do with my hair.
03:06I didn't know what to do with my hair.
03:08I didn't know what to do with my hair.
03:10I took my hair in my hand.
03:12I crossed the road and went home.
03:14She took care of it.
03:16I think she had planned it
03:18from the last scene of Meghithagatara.
03:20from the last scene of Meghithagatara.
03:22from the last scene of Meghithagatara.
03:24The first successful film of Uttam Kumar.
03:26Subriya Devi was also there.
03:28The Asu family.
03:30Subriya Devi was also there.
03:32Subriya Devi was also there.
03:34Subriya Devi was also there.
03:36Subriya Devi was also there.
03:38Subriya Devi was also there.
03:40Subriya Devi was also there.
03:42Subriya Devi was also there.
03:44The main mystery in Subriya.
03:46The main mystery in Subriya.
03:48The main mystery in Subriya.
03:50A sort
03:52introvert,
03:54unknown,
03:56it was in Hollywood.
03:58it was in Hollywood.
04:04She is just so completely
04:06She is just completely
04:08introvert,
04:10The woman who is
04:12NARESH MARKARIAN NARESH MARKARIAN
04:42It is my responsibility to say that till date, the way Bengalis dance,
04:48it is mainly Manipuri, Shantiniketani dance.
04:51Outside of that, if you go to a Biliti dance,
04:55even that is not exactly a Biliti dance.
04:59For that reason, we depend a lot on western cinema or southern cinema.
05:03Shupiya Chowdhury had a huge batik troupe.
05:07When he was in Burma, he did a performance of this dance.
05:12The Prime Minister of Burma at that time had congratulated him.
05:16In that situation, it was highly possible that he was a dancer.
05:21That too, a Bengali actor.
05:23He didn't use it at that time.
05:25He didn't get the opportunity to do that.
05:27I don't know about you, but if you come to my house,
05:29you will be shot dead by a bullet.
05:31In this film, the way Arnold Neumann or Kakee
05:33is portrayed in the film,
05:35the way Shupiya is portrayed in the film,
05:37that is possible only for Shupiya.
05:39And we don't give importance to Shupiya.
05:42We think that, in terms of his body,
05:46he is the only one.
05:49Not only that, when he is introduced to the world,
05:52like Ajay Kaur, Suno Varunari,
05:54he has done an extraordinary performance.
05:58And with Uttam Kumar,
06:00he is not only a great singer,
06:02but he is also a great actor.
06:04Like Jorno Tarje, Prattha Ghat,
06:06in Chirodin's film,
06:08Lal Pathar,
06:10in that film, you will see,
06:12he has an independent existence.
06:14Actually, there is a foreign sociologist,
06:16Andrei Moro,
06:18he said that,
06:20the heroine,
06:22the star,
06:24is recognized as an actor with a biography.
06:27An actor with a biography.
06:30From that point of view, Shupiya is a biography.
06:33You are saying that, Shupiya
06:35had a deep relationship with Uttam Kumar.
06:38This is a proven fact.
06:41And at that time,
06:43Khabarikabad has written
06:45a lot about him.
06:47And we had a lot of expectations
06:49about Shupiya.
06:51How he will show his acting,
06:53I was thinking about that.
06:55I was thinking about that.
06:57How Uttam Kumar's house was destroyed,
06:59how he was arrested,
07:01I was thinking about that.
07:03After seeing that,
07:05when Shupiya was called
07:07for the competition,
07:09I saw him in a different way.
07:11And from the point of view of acting,
07:13I would say that,
07:15the Bengali society had an opinion about Shupiya.
07:17They tried to remove the shadow of Uttam Kumar.
07:20Shupiya is a representative
07:22of Bengali life.
07:24You will see,
07:27Shupiya can't do anything.
07:29She can't do anything.
07:31Shabitri Devi can,
07:33but Shabitri Devi is a brave,
07:35moderate, homely woman.
07:37And the weakness,
07:39the unwillingness,
07:41and the angry look
07:43that I saw in Shupiya's eyes,
07:45after the partition of the country,
07:47we had no other option.
07:49Shupiya's self-determination,
07:52even before Uttam Kumar,
07:54he was an actor.
07:56He was able to show
07:58how much effort he had to make
08:00for his family.
08:02From the point of view of acting,
08:04he was able to show his self-determination.
08:06I think in the middle ages,
08:08there were many big actresses.
08:10At that time,
08:12when Shupiya Choudhury
08:14would give herself up
08:16as a romantic actress,
08:18she would be very happy.
08:20In Migiraka Tala,
08:22she spoke in Dhakai Bengali
08:24which is also possible
08:26if you are a Bengali from Burma.
08:28But in Gita,
08:30the way she spoke in Dhakai Bengali,
08:32the way she spoke in Dhakai Bengali,
08:34the way she spoke in Dhakai Bengali,
08:36the way she spoke in Dhakai Bengali,
08:38I mean, in just two months,
08:40I saw this in Gita,
08:42Shupiya Choudhury was learning Dhakai Bengali.
08:44At that time,
08:46the determination to become an actress,
08:48as a teacher,
08:50and as a teacher,
08:53they were both very determined.
08:55Then in just two months,
08:57the language they practiced,
08:59that language,
09:01it was not some unusual language,
09:03that they were doing an independent film
09:05Basinda Naan.
09:07It was popular in cooking class.
09:09They had a good cooking skill
09:11and they were good at it.
09:13There is no doubt about it.
09:15But, think about it,
09:17as much as Benuddin's cooking skills are popular,
09:19his acting skills are not that popular.
09:21I don't want to talk about corruption, I don't want to talk about listening and understanding.
09:25When a politician and an economist talk about political events,
09:29then they don't talk about politics as much as they talk about political events.
09:33Thank you very much.
09:34Please stay well.
09:37With cameraman Dhiman Haldar,
09:38I am Navneeta Dutta Gupta,
