Prosenjit Chatterjee apologises after backlash for insulting Bengali language: ‘It was a misunderstanding'
Actor Prosenjit Chatterjee, who will soon be seen in Maalik, found himself in soup for his comments at the trailer launch event of the film a week ago. The actor chided a journalist at the event for asking him a question in Bengali, which did not sit well with many on social media. The actor has now addressed the backlash, saying that he had no intention to demean or insult the Bengali language. Prosenjit Chatterjee has issued an apology to his fans for his recent remark. (Photo by SUJIT JAISWAL / AFP)(AFP) Prosenjit issues an apology In a new statement that was posted on his Instagram account, Prosenjit wrote in Bengali, 'In the last few days, something that I said, a sentence of mine, has created quite a stir. I am here to talk about it. I have been working in Bengali for the last 42 years. In the last few years, there have been opportunities for me to work at a national level, and in lieu of that, I was present at the trailer launch of Maalik in Juhu PVR for a media interaction. Whoever from the cast and crew was present on stage was mainly interacting in English. A journalist from Bengal asked me a question in Bengali. I have known that person for a long time. But at that time, I felt that if I replied in Bengali, then the others wouldn't be able to understand what I was saying, because there were many who did not know the language. That is why I asked what was the point in asking the question in Bengali?' 'I understand that my words have hurt many of you' The note further read, 'Now that the specific sentence of mine has been shared, there have been many who are hurt by it. I am also hurt, I am still hurting. Because I did not anticipate the response to my statement. Perhaps I was not able to state my perspective with the use of some English words. I think it was a misunderstanding that started from there. Because I cannot even imagine of insulting my mother tongue even in my worst nightmares. Bengali is the language of my life and love. Bengali is the language of my soul, the language of my love. But the judgment of Bengali people has always been paramount to me, and it always will be, till my last breath. Lastly, I must say that I understand that my words have hurt many of you, and for that, I am sorry. I have shared with you the context and my thoughts of the situation.' Prosenjit plays a pivotal role in Maalik, which also stars Rajkummar Rao and Manushi Chillar. The action drama is all set to hit screens on July 11.

Brad Pitt's Indigenous Indian Shirt Has A Gujarat Connection
Queries from potential clients haven't stopped for Baldevbhai Mohanbhai Rathore in the remote Dedara village, in Surendranagar district of Gujarat. Brad Pitt was seen wearing an indigo shirt, in one of the 'behind-the-scenes' shots of his new film F1 and this has stirred interest everywhere as it has Baldevbhai's Tangaliya craftsmanship. The shirt was made under the fashion label 11.11 / eleven eleven. Baldevbhai has been providing his craftsmanship to CellDSGN Pvt Ltd for the last five years. 11.11 / eleven eleven is the pret label of the parent company CellDSGN Pvt. Ltd. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 11.11 / eleven eleven (@1111clothing) The shirt worn by Brad Pitt is not a regular one. Hand-spun, hand loomed in indigenous cotton, the shirt has tiny bead like motifs in the weave all done by hand using Tangaliya craft. Brad Pitt's F 1 movie, released worldwide in theatres on June 25, 2025, followed by a North America release on June 27. Tracing Tangaliya The 700-year-old Tangaliya weave is native to Surendranagar district. The Dangasia community of the region is the custodian of the intricate Tangaliya weaving. "I did Tangaliya weaving on the yarn provided by the fashion house (CellDSGN PVT Ltd) for which I was paid Rs 8,500 around eleven months back," says Baldevbhai, who has trained his sons in the age-old craft. Baldevbhai on the loom. As per lores, a boy from Bharwad (shepherd) community married a girl from the Wankar (weaver) community. The couple sustained themselves by weaving shawls using wool provided by the Bharwads. The couple's children were called Dangasia (dang means stick and 'sia" to go) and they carried forward the art of Tangaliya weaving. The original patrons of this fabric were - women of Bharwad community. The clothing was traditionally made from coarse wool woven by members of local communities. The uniqueness of Tangaliya weaving lies in the raised dot or danas, which require high level skills and accuracy. Tiny dots of extra weft are twisted around several warp threads, giving an effect of bead embroidery to the fabric. These are woven to make geometrical patterns simultaneously on both sides of the fabric. "Earlier, I used to work only on wool. But now I use cotton and silk yarn for Tangaliya weaving," says Lavjibhai Parmar, another weaver who was bestowed with the Padma Shri Award earlier this year. The motif mainly comprises the elements present in the community's milieu like mor (peacock), jhaad (plants), naughara (nine dotted house) etc. Some of the Tangaliya locally made are called Ramraj, Charmalia, Dhusla, Labdi etc. "Tangaliya is the technique of wrapping fibres on the warp during the process of weaving. It has been passed down through generations," says Lavjibhai. Lavjibhai Parmar along with his wife and son at Rashtrapati Bhavan earlier this year. Not many people knew about Tangaliya craft. Dangasia craftsmen had failed to popularise the craft beyond their area. Saving The Craft The Tangaliya craft itself would have vanquished without the help from the state government and other players. The Gujarat State Handloom and Handicrafts Development Corporation Ltd. has been instrumental in identification, revival, development, promotion and marketing of Tangaliya handicraft products. On its part, the NIFT (National Institute Fashion Technology), Gandhinagar also took an initiative to form the Tangaliya Hastkala Association in 2007. It also helped make Tangaliya craft fashionable by teaching the weavers to diversify beyond wool to cotton and silk. "Not being bright and colourful like 'bandhini' or Patola, Tangaliya design was reluctantly included in fashion shows because the patterns were not bold and noticeable," confided a fashion designer on the condition of anonymity. However, the Centre and state governments efforts to recognise the craft persons and their weaves didn't go in vain. In 2009, Tangaliya got the GI tag. Lavjibhai received national award in 1990, Sant Kabir Award in 2019 and the Padma Shri in 2025. Baldevbhai won the national as well as the state awards in 2016. In the villages of Surendranagar, some families have opened a common facility centre, where training in this art is imparted. For instance, Lavjibhai gives technical and market support to the trainees and has employed 20-25 weavers, opening livelihood avenues for others. They have been exhibiting this dying art of weaving by organising exhibitions and collaborating with vendors across India. Weavers have been also selling their products online as well. Their products are sold in Garvi Gurjari, the Gujarat government's outlets in India and abroad. Now the outlets also sell files, pillow and cushion covers, bags, purses with Tangaliya weave. Now that Brad Pitt has worn it, Tangaliya weave has surely received global attention to the Gujarat connection.
