Rituparno Ghosh was one of the finest filmmakers of India; I had seen his films 'Raincoat' and 'Chokher Bali' and I had always admired his body of work.

Working with stalwarts like Satyajit Ray, Soumitra Chatterjee and Rabi Ghosh is an experience I always cherish.

Waheeda Rehman

It took me a while to figure out what kind of work I needed to do. I worked with directors like Aparna Sen and Rituparno Ghosh. I wanted to do interesting roles.

Priyanshu Chatterjee

I was lucky to work with some of the finest filmmakers - Guru Dutt, Satyajit Ray, Vijay Anand, Raj Khosla, Asit Sen.

Waheeda Rehman

Rituparno Ghosh is a legendary director, and I happen to be a huge fan of his.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui

To me, Satyajit Ray is just Manik da. Our relationship dates back to 1958, when he introduced me to the silver screen. I was just 13.

IIFA is always involved in charity, and that's why it's a great thing that I am a part of IIFA and will continue to work along with them.

Akshay Kumar

My major influence is Satyajit Ray; his film 'Shatranj ke Khilari' was set in Awadh and it gave us memorable characters. Ray's musical scores and soundtracks were an intrinsic part of his films. And music to me is important, too.

Shoojit Sircar

Rituparno Ghosh and Bharathirajaa are two directors who were born to direct.They can make even a stone act.

Riya Sen

I've had a weakness for Bengali directors, be it Rituparno Ghosh, Aparna Sen, or Goutam Ghose, because of their sensitivity towards cinema.

Deepti Naval

On returning to India I took up a short assignment as assistant to the secretary of jury at the International Film Festival, and Satyajit Ray was the chairman. He was on the lookout for an assistant, and that's how I went to Kolkata. I learnt a lot - the discipline, conceptualization, planning your shots.

Suhasini Mulay

Satyajit Ray has played a very major part in my career. He was the one who gave me the launch platform when he selected me for his 'Apur Sansar.'

Sharmila Tagore

Commercial Bengali movies are all crass imitation of Telugu and Tamil movies. There are only a handful of directors like Rituparno Ghosh, Aparna Sen and Gautam Ghose who make quality films.

Victor Banerjee

It's okay to do a small role in mainstream cinema like 'Aurangzeb' or 'Yaariyan.' But it's films like Rituparno Ghosh's 'Memories Of March' and Avinash Kumar Singh's 'Listen Amaya' that sustain me as an actress.

Deepti Naval

I would have loved to work with Satyajit Ray.
