Essex Indians (EI) organised 44 online quality shows during the pandemic to rejuvenate the mind and souls of millions.
The latest one was a global tribute to the pioneer of method acting - Dilip Saab via Facebook and YouTube social media, who created his own genre over a period of five decades ( 1944-1996) and whom we all sadly lost a few weeks ago at the age of 98. He was the winner of 8 Filmfare awards for best actor.
The event was hosted by Dr Anirban Mandal, Plastic Surgeon and Trustee of EI, and coordinated by Dr Arpita Ray, Gynaecologist and IVF specialist and Trustee of EI.
The global artists were Tannishtha Biswas ( sham e Guam ke kasam, Footpath) , Jhinuk Basu( suhana safar, Madhumati) , Dr Queene Aditya ( Ude jab jab julphe, Naya Daur) Dr Arnab Gupta, Sharmistha Gupta ( Maang je saath tumhara, Naya Daur) and Chandrajit ( koi sagar based on Raag Kalavati, Dil diya dard liya) from India; Dipa Kuila ( Dil tadap tadap, Madhumati) from USA and Narayanan ( toote hue khwabo, Madhumati ) Nabarupa Mukherjee ( Choti so panchi, Sagina Mahato), Moumita Hajra ( Aaja re Pardeshi, Madhumati ), Dr. Molly Gupta ( Teri Husn ka, Leader), Ujjwal Ghosh, ( Nain lad jai he, Ganga Jamuna), Ratna Parikh ( Ae watan tere liye, Karma)and Anashmita Saha ( dancing tribute with pyar kiya to Darna Keya, Mughal- E-Azaam).
Dr Mandal discussed the acting logistics of the legend with the artists and the importance of revisiting his films to make the generation next aware of such a genius.
