Prosenjit Chatterjee recalls being depressed after separation from Debashree Roy: ‘There's no use in crying'
Actor Prosenjit Chatterjee was once married to fellow actor Debashree Roy, but the two parted ways shortly after tying the knot. In a recent interview with Times Now, Prosenjit opened up about the difficult phase following their separation, revealing that he slipped into depression and began working less during that period.

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.

Karan Johar says he wants his kids Yash and Roohi to be like Shah Rukh Khan's kids Aryan Khan, Suhana Khan: Here's why
Filmmaker Karan Johar has often spoken about his deep admiration for Shah Rukh Khan, whom he considers both an elder brother and his closest friend in the industry. In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, Karan opened up about his family-like bond with SRK's family and heaped praise on Aryan Khan and Suhana Khan, expressing his wish for his own children, Yash Johar and Roohi Johar, to grow up to be like them. (Also Read: Karan Johar says he is inspired by Stree 2's success: 'Not like the biggest star of the country is in it') Karan revealed that both Shah Rukh Khan and filmmaker Aditya Chopra are like gurus to him and credited them for shaping his life and career. He stated that he owes his entire being to them. He added that he'll always consider himself Aditya's assistant and Shah Rukh's younger brother. Speaking further about his bond with SRK and his family, Karan said, "I don't know... with Shah Rukh and Gauri, Aryan, Suhana and AbRam — they are my family. Like genuinely, they are my family. Aryan, in many ways, is my first born. I have a memory of holding Aryan in my arms and walking through a park in London, singing a song to him — and I can't sing to save my life. But he remembers that song, and I remember that song. So, when I see him directing a series today, I'm awestruck. When I see Suhana training for King, I'm awestruck." He added, "Because I'm like, look at these kids — how they've worked on themselves to become the talents they want to be. To create their individual identities and go beyond their father's unattainable legacy. I see them so hungry to achieve. Looking at them, my heart is full of joy. I want Yash and Roohi to grow up to be like Aryan and Suhana — as people, more than anything else. What strong human beings they've been raised to be by Gauri and SRK. Such pure hearts. They're just good children — well-mannered, well-raised, hardworking, yet hungry to achieve — and that's a combination hard to find." Karan further said that both Aryan and Suhana are aware of their privilege but have never taken advantage of it. He described them as the 'simplest kids,' noting that even though Shah Rukh has indulged them with everything, they have never asked for more. He expressed his deep respect for both Aryan and Suhana for carving out their own paths in the world, and credited Gauri Khan for raising them so well. Aryan Khan is now set to make his directorial debut with the Netflix series Ba***ds of Bollywood, while Suhana made her acting debut last year in Zoya Akhtar's The Archies. Though the film and her performance received criticism, Suhana is now preparing for her next big project — King, where she stars alongside her father Shah Rukh Khan. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the film reportedly also features Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, and Abhay Verma, and is currently under production.
