I don't want juniors to have the same experience as I did
THE WEEK India|September 08, 2024

I don't want juniors to have the same experience as I did

The report has given me the belief that big, powerful men can be brought down. So, I think it is the right time for me to come forward with the struggles and issues I faced early in my career. I don’t want my juniors and newcomers to experience the same.

Groups of powerful men exist in the Bengali film industry as well. But I would still say that things have somewhat improved from what I saw at the beginning of my career 15 years ago.
