Prosenjit Chatterjee, recently seen in the critically acclaimed film Ajogyo opposite Rituparna Sengupta, fondly reminisced about his time filming Chokher Bali with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. He described the former Miss World as “sweet and nice,” recalling her introduction to Bengali cinema with warmth.
“Aishwarya was very good. She is very sweet. We still meet sometimes,” the 61-year-old told Mamaraazzi.
Prosenjit Chatterjee shared anecdotes from the set, highlighting his frequent but friendly arguments with late director and close friend Rituparno Ghosh. Aishwarya Rai, who enjoyed the traditional Bengali breakfast on set, would often watch these exchanges in amusement, wondering why seasoned professionals like them engaged in such lively debates. Despite the on-set tensions, Prosenjit emphasised the strong camaraderie they shared, making the experience memorable.
“On the sets of Chokerbali, Ritu and I would often fight. We used to order Bengali Kachori and mithai for breakfast in the morning and Aishwarya would eat those stuff and would tell us, ‘You are the topmost hero and he is the topmost director. So why are you both fighting on the sets?” Ritu and I had done many films together, we were like friends but we used to fight on sets.”
