Mahapeeth Tarapeeth

Lack of work and family needs has brought the actor to such a condition that the 70-year-old actor was forced to ask for money on the streets. The ordeal of the actor, who has worked with Uttam Kumar,

Salil Chowdhury

, came into the light after his co-star

Sabyasachi

Chowdhury penned a heart-touching note on social media handle.

Sabyasachi and his girlfriend

Aindrila Sharma

have come forward to help Shankar. They brought some food and sent it to Shankar so that they don’t have to sleep hungry.

With a heavy heart Sabyasachi shared how, Shankar, with whom he shared the screen in ‘Mahapeeth Tarapeeth’, struggled to meet the end and feed his wife and young grandson. Seeing no other option, Shankar had to keep his ‘embarrassment’ aside and sought for help on the busy streets of Haati Bagan.

In the social media post, Sabyasachi shared, that his co-star, who left him in complete awe with his stellar performance, didn’t leave Kolkata when Salil Chowdhury asked him to work in the Mumbai industry. Shankar wanted to work in

Tollywood

which is enriched with some greatest talents of all time. Interestingly, Sabyasachi himself, pursued his higher education abroad from a very prestigious institution but his love for the city and the industry brought him back. At the end of the post, he ‘promised’ his senior co-star that he will never leave the industry and do something meaty for the industry.
