Soumitra Chatterjee, a famous actor in the Bengali cinema industry. He used to make the audience go crazy when he came on screen. No matter how much Soumitra was compared to Uttam Kumar at that time, he created his own genre alongside the Mahanayak, a genre that Satyajit's Apu or Feluda took shape in. However, he was not only influential on the screen but also on stage. Soumitra was also a star in the literary world.

There is no question that the life of such a man would be mysterious and colorful. In fact, Soumitra Chatterjee has hinted at his colorful life in various interviews. But even though various newspapers and magazines have written about the life story of such a star. Soumitra never showed much interest in writing an autobiography. Despite repeated requests from his loved ones, Soumitra was reluctant to write an autobiography. There was, of course, a reason behind this. And Satyajit's onscreen Apu himself had said it frankly.

Why was Soumitra reluctant to write an autobiography?

In an interview, Soumitra had said that many people would be troubled by the truths that had to be written when writing an autobiography. Because I cannot write anything false in an autobiography. I cannot even hide it. I will not write a better autobiography this way. Let people know me the way they see me.
