Prosenjit Chatterjee recalls being depressed after separation from Debashree Roy: ‘There's no use in crying'

Prosenjit spoke about the emotional toll of his divorce and said, "Ek samay aaya tha, mai kaam kam kar raha tha (There was a time when I was working less). I was in a little depressed mood, I was not doing proper work. We blamed each other, but we were young at that time. After that separation, I was in a place where I was not coming out. And amid this, the most leading newspaper in Bengal came out with pointers of actors of Bengal. Usme 1-10 tk me mera naam nahi tha (I was not mentioned in that list of 1 to 10), and I was going through that depression mode."
He recalled how he dealt with the situation and said, "The day I came back to the set, I signed nine films. It is not me, it is my blessing. Mera characteristic is aisa hai (That is my characteristic). I feel there's no point in showing emotions. But everyone has a space of their own — I have a small garden, and that's my space. I don't talk to anybody. Those 30 days were important for me to reconnect with myself. There's no use in crying."
Prosenjit and Debashree had known each other since childhood. After their separation, Prosenjit found love again with Aparna Guha Thakurta, with whom he shares a daughter, Prerona Chatterjee. However, his second marriage too eventually ended in divorce.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Prosenjit was last seen in the Netflix series Khakee: The Bengal Chapter. He will next be seen in the movie Maalik, which also stars Manushi Chhillar and Medha Shankr in key roles. The gangster action thriller, directed by Pulkit and produced by Kumar Taurani and Jay Shewakramani, is scheduled to release in theatres on July 11.

Divya Dutta On Staying Single: 'There's A Lot Of Male Attention Coming My Way But...'
Last Updated: Divya Dutta opens up about choosing not to marry, embracing self-love and companionship, and talks future projects Nastik and Netflix hit Chhaava. While Bollywood often celebrates fairytale weddings, some stars are choosing a different path—one of independence and self-assurance. Among them is acclaimed actor Divya Dutta, who recently opened up about why she's comfortable not getting married and how she views companionship in a more meaningful light. In a heartfelt interview with Hindi Rush, Divya shared her personal stance on marriage and the kind of relationship she truly values. 'If you find a good partner, it's great to be married. If not, life moves on beautifully. It's better to nurture yourself than stay in a dysfunctional marriage. Rather than lowering yourself in a relationship, it's better to love yourself. There's a lot of male attention coming my way and I enjoy that, but a relationship should happen when you connect. You feel that the person can hold your hand. If that isn't there, I have many lovely friends around me, and I am there for myself." Making it clear that she's not seeking marriage, Divya added, 'I don't want to get married, but I would love to have a companion with whom I can travel. And if not, then I'm still happy. You know, my best friend sent me a quote — a person asks, 'Why are you single? You are beautiful, attractive, caring,' and I say, 'I think I'm overqualified.' There comes a time when you look for completeness outside, which is not necessary. It's not necessary that you'll only be complete when a good partner enters your life. I used to have that misconception. I used to wear my heart on my sleeve — but not anymore." Professionally, Divya continues to soar. She was last seen in the historical drama Chhaava, where she shared the screen with Vicky Kaushal, Rashmika Mandanna, and Akshaye Khanna. The film, directed by Laxman Utekar, was a major commercial success, earning Rs 807.88 crore globally. It's currently available to stream on Netflix. Looking ahead, Divya will star in the upcoming film Nastik, alongside Arjun Rampal. Directed by Shailesh Verma, the film also features Ihana Dhillon and Harshaali Malhotra. The official release date has not been announced yet. First Published: June 11, 2025, 16:10 IST

Prosenjit Chatterjee Wants TV Shows To Go Pan-India: 'Why Should It Be Limited To Films?'
Last Updated: Kabhi Neem Neem Kabhi Shahad Shahad promises to bring a refreshing blend of emotions, drama, and family ties. After becoming the superstar of the Bengali film industry, Prosenjit Chatterjee is now all set to step into the Hindi television world. It was recently announced that he is producing a new show titled Kabhi Neem Neem Kabhi Shahad Shahad, a unique family drama that captures the bittersweet essence of relationships. Recently, Prosenjit Chatterjee opened up about producing a Hindi television show when he shared, 'This is, in many ways, my first Hindi production and it feels truly special. My father has been part of the Hindi film industry since the 1960s, starting from Sabar Uparey, so my connection with Hindi cinema isn't new. Today, when the world is talking about 'pan-India', I wonder — why should it be limited to films or OTT platforms? Television, too, has the power to go pan-India". 'There is incredible talent across the country from Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi, and Gujarati industries. Why shouldn't all that talent be celebrated on television as well? That's the thought that led us here. I'm grateful to Star Plus for supporting this vision. And of course, working with Rakhi Di, one of the finest storytellers, we have brought the perfect concept to life for us to step into Hindi and create meaningful, impactful work," the actor added. Kabhi Neem Neem Kabhi Shahad Shahad promises to bring a refreshing blend of emotions, drama, and family ties, reflecting the perfect balance of sweet and bitter, just like its title suggests. It stars Abrar Qazi in the lead. Previously, Abrar also opened up about the show when he said, 'The focus is really on sweet, genuine interactions—those little moments that can feel real and honest. We've made a conscious effort to stay away from the typical cliches. So, even though it's a romantic love story at the heart, it feels refreshing and authentic. It's joyful, it's full of connection, and hopefully, it leaves people smiling." Kabhi Neem Neem Kabhi Shahad Shahad will premiere on Star Plus on June 11, 2025. First Published:
