Kaushik Ganguly . The versatile actor was part of Kaushik’s first serial ‘Bhalobasha Mondobasha’, first telefilm ‘Ami Shey O Anu’, last serial ‘
Chorabali
’, apart from his film ‘Laptop’.
“Pijush would never be part of any industry gossip and was all praise for everyone around him. I remember when Churni (Ganguly) and I bought our first non-AC small car and had no one to bring it home from the showroom, he volunteered to drive it for us. He was a superb driver and it's shocking that he went away in a road accident. There have been times when he would cook and bring food to our home to have a lunch together. Despite the innumerable conversations that we would keep having, he never mentioned work even in passing. I remember how, during Laptop, he would bring his script with lines underlined in different colours. His script was as colourful as he was in real life. When I now write a script, I'll have to say I need someone like Pijush. He has become a reference point,” said Kaushik Ganguly as he went down the memory lane.
