birthday
yesterday. He has been that way for the past few days, as his father,
Anup Sengupta, had his birthday just a few days back. “We are in celebration mode with Baba’s birthday just a few days before mine. My diet has taken a backseat and we have been having an eating spree.

It took me an hour to answer them all. Ma made me eat an elaborate birthday lunch of ilish maachh, chilli chicken, fried rice and payesh. In the evening, my fan clubs organised an event for my birthday. And at night, my parents organised a birthday dinner on our terrace where the menu was elaborate,” said Bonny.

I don’t want to act in remakes any more. That apart, I want to reach out to my audience and entertain them more,” said the actor, who has just completed shooting for his father’s film.

Not many know that Baba refers to everyone as apni on the sets and never calls anyone by name. It is always babu or da added with the name.
