Jhanak fame Anupam Bhattacharya on men's mental health; says ‘It remains a highly underrated topic
Actor Anupam Bhattacharya, known for his roles in Jhanak Season 2, Khakee: The Bengal Chapter, and a cameo in War 2, is shedding light on an issue often overlooked—men's mental health. In a recent conversation, the actor shared his views on how emotional struggles among men are largely brushed aside or buried. 'Men are victims of their own latent nature, they are mostly closed about problems and stresses... which acts as a hindrance for them to open up to even the near and dear ones,' he says. 'It's easy to preach that you should talk about your problems, but for men, they would feel vulnerable if they did—and I don't think any amount of awareness drive can change much.' Opening up about his personal journey, Anupam adds, 'I am no different and have faced situations where I found myself isolated or going into a shell... being fully aware that it might lead to depression and other mental illnesses.' The actor believes that financial and emotional issues are at the core of most mental health challenges faced by men. 'Financial independence is very important,' he notes. 'While you are doing well, you must invest and manage contingencies for any future uncertainties.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Abiti in una casa indipendente?

'Workout or playing any kind of group sport acts as a complete stress detox. I keep myself involved in cricket with my other actor friends. The time spent with your sports buddies, the banter, the game involvement—it completely distresses you. Of course, there are other ways too, but this is my mantra.' Anupam's candid take adds an important voice to the ongoing conversation about mental health, especially in a space where male vulnerability is rarely addressed.

Prosenjit Chatterjee: Actors today are not chasing stardom alone; they're chasing variety
Prosenjit Chatterjee (BCCL/Tejas Kudtarkar) Prosenjit Chatterjee , fondly known as Bumba da, has long been a pillar of Bengali cinema, balancing commercial hits with bold, unconventional roles. Now, with over 350 films behind him, he's looking beyond boundaries — embracing new languages, younger teams, and stories on a national scale. In this candid chat with Bombay Times, the veteran actor reflects on reinvention, letting go of the comfort of stardom and learning from the next generation. 'Now I want to act in films that have a national scale' Prosenjit recently impressed the audience in Khakee: The Bengal Chapter and is ready to broaden his horizons. He says, 'I have always embraced challenges; there was a period when I was doing six to eight shifts a day, with 17 to 18 releases a year. My highest was 26, a world record, I later learnt from a fan club. We never kept track back in the day.' Today, he remains as eager as ever for new roles. He shares, 'I tell my directors to bring me something that is out of the box. Now I want to act in films that have a national scale.' 'It's hard for a commercial actor to let go of seetees and taalis' Letting go of the larger‑than‑life image built through commercial cinema was not easy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo He says, 'The most difficult part for an actor who has found success in commercial films is letting go of the seetees and taalis. You may be willing to give up a lot, but not that curtain call. When a villain walks in and approaches the heroine, the crowd expects the hero to storm in and save her, and they love that moment. So, I had to consciously shed that baggage and recondition my thinking,' he says. He adds, 'I experimented constantly because I believed that in ten years the language of cinema would change — and I wanted to evolve too. I'm not in a race, which is why I'm branching out into Punjabi and Marathi cinema.' Prosenjit Chatterjee (BCCL/Tejas Kudtarkar) 'The Bengali industry depended on me for two decades' Ask him why he didn't make the shift earlier beyond Bengali films, and he replies, 'Back then, the Bengali industry depended on me; it was not just about hits, but also a responsibility toward producers, directors and technicians. If I went on a 20‑day outdoor trip, I would get calls saying 'Dada, aap nahi hain to chhe-chhe shifts nahi ho rahe hain'. So, I stayed.' He continues, 'Being number one in any industry is not easy. If I had come to Mumbai and ended up as number ten, I would have felt I was letting down my Bengali audience who believe I'm their number one.' 'Nawaz was the first to break the typical Indian-hero mould' Prosenjit, who has been a part of OTT shows like Jubilee and Scoop, is deeply inspired by the new generation. He says, 'So many of them deliver great performances, not just in Hindi, but across all industries. I wonder, 'Yeh log kaise acting kar rahe hain!' That drives me to keep evolving. Acting has changed and cinema has changed. You either say, 'Main aap logon ka pitaji hoon, main ghar par rahoonga', or you work with younger teams and learn new things. I choose the latter.' He especially praises Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Rajkummar Rao. 'Nawaz was the first to break the typical Indian-hero mould; he changed the game. And now there are many such actors. Rajkummar, too. The actors today are not chasing stardom alone; they are chasing variety,' he notes.
