Moushumi Chatterjee is a well-known face in the world of Indian film industry. She featured alongside several well-known stars in the Bollywood industry. With her fine acting skills and beauty, she emerged as one of the top actresses during the 70s and 80s. During that time, she was the heroine of choice for many filmmakers. The actress reportedly joined the film industry after her marriage. According to media reports, a director once recommended to her father-in-law that she should work in films, which is how she entered the world of acting. She worked with many prominent actors in her early career but she gained massive prominence in the 1980 Jeetendra-starrer, Maang Bharo Sajana. She even reportedly took a dig at Jaya Bachchan during a public event. Curious to know more about this incident? Read this article to know more:
A video that surfaced on social media shows Moushumi Chatterjee walking past the photographers at an event. As soon as someone from the crowd takes the name of actress Jaya Bachchan, she quickly turns back and says, “I am a much better person than Jaya Bachchan,” with a smile.
The actress added, “Agar aap loh nahi hote toh hum idhar nahi hote [If it weren’t for you people, I wouldn’t be here.” The veteran actress’s remark was light-hearted as she spoke jokingly with the photographers. The video was shared by Namaste Bollywood on their Instagram handle.
Earlier in an old interview on Lehren TV, Moushumi Chatterjee mentioned that she was replaced by Jaya Bachchan after three days of shooting in the film Koshish. “I shot for three days and I was able to understand that some manipulations were going on. I saw Jaya Bachchan’s secretary in the set and she was there from morning to night. And all of a sudden Gulzar da came to me and said that have to be here till late at night from the next schedule. I had a baby and so I told him that I would not be able to be at the set. I also mentioned that I could only shoot in one shift. Then, in front of everyone, he said that there were many actresses in line. I got triggered and said to take them.”
