Rituparno Ghosh was a fanboy of Satyajit Ray. He always confessed it out loud. He used to say that Satyajit was his primary teacher in making films. Once upon a time, film buffs believed that Rituparno Ghosh was the only director in Bengal whose films were as artistically advanced as Satyajit Ray's. However, today, we will talk about something on a rainy day that shocked even Satyajit himself!

Many years ago, in a conversation with the famous director Sujoy Ghosh on a private TV channel, Rituparno revealed the story. According to Rituparno, the fact that he could do such a thing shocked even Satyajit Ray himself. At that time, Rituparno had not yet set himself in the world of cinema. However, he was always present in the world of cinema. It was the seventies. Satyajit Ray's Shatranj Ki Khiladi was released. At that time, Kolkata was facing heavy rains. Every road was completely submerged in water due to three days of continuous rain.
At that time, Rituparno Ghosh called Satyajit Ray! After a few rings, a serious voice came from the other end, 'Hello, who is this?' Rituparno's question was, "Shatranj is only being released in elite cinemas, how can we watch it?" To this question from Rituparno, Satyajit asked in a very soft tone, 'Why, where is your home?'
Rituparno said that his home was in Tollygunge, and it was almost impossible to reach the elite due to the continuous rain in Kolkata. Hearing such words from Rituparno, Satyajit was shocked. He said, 'See it when the rain subsides.' And questions about why Rituparno has to see it on the first day of the show?' Rituparno was completely overwhelmed to hear such words from Satyajit Ray himself. It was the perfect fanboy moment.
