Prosenjit Chatterjee shared anecdotes from the set, highlighting his frequent but friendly arguments with the late director and close friend Rituparno Ghosh. Aishwarya Rai, who enjoyed the traditional Bengali breakfast on set, would often watch these exchanges in amusement, wondering why seasoned professionals like them engaged in such lively debates. Despite the on-set tensions, Prosenjit emphasized the strong camaraderie they shared, making the experience memorable.
“On the sets of ‘Chokher Bali,’ Ritu and I would often fight. We used to order Bengali kachori and mithai for breakfast, and Aishwarya would eat those and ask, ‘You are the topmost hero and he is the topmost director. So why are you both fighting on the sets?’ Ritu and I had done many films together, we were like friends but we used to fight on sets.”
