I grew up watching Ritwik Ghatak, Satyajit Ray and Mirnal Sen's works in my youth, which was a very turbulent phase in Bengal's history.

Saswata Chatterjee

I have grown up watching Satyajit Ray, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Basu Chatterjee, Ritwik Ghatak, Raj Kapoor; listening to SD Burman, RD, Kishore Kumar and Salil Chowdhury.

Shweta Basu Prasad

I have earlier played Ritwik Ghatak on screen. It was one of the toughest roles.

Saswata Chatterjee

It's true I was approached for 'Heroine' but I couldn't do the film as the dates were clashing with Kamaleswar Mukherjee's film 'Meghe Dhaka Tara' based on the life of Ritwik Ghatak, where I played the lead.

Saswata Chatterjee

I came back to Mumbai with the tag of having assisting the legendary Satyajit Ray. I thought that would be a medal, but it became a disqualification. People thought I would only make serious kinds of cinema.

Tinnu Anand

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

Waheeda Rehman

I would have loved to work with Satyajit Ray.

Nana Patekar

I feel lucky to have worked with Satyajit Ray.

Waheeda Rehman

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

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

Nimrat Kaur

My life changed when I was introduced to Satyajit Ray. It was acting for me thereafter.

Sharmila Tagore

I could not do Satyajit Ray's 'Kanchenjunga' because I had already committed the daters he wanted to shoot on to other producers.

Asha Parekh

Bombay is far ahead of Bengal in the matter of female education. I have visited some of the best schools in Bengal and Bombay, and I can say from my own experience that there are a larger number of girls receiving public education in Bombay than in Bengal; but while Bengal has not come up to Bombay as far as regarded extent of education, Bengal is not behind Bombay in the matter of solidarity and depth.
