Speaking to us, Soham said, “I don’t even remember how many times I have watched Dadar Kirti and Bhalobasa Bhalobasa.
His films like
Guru Dakshina, Shaheb, Uttara shows what a brilliant actor he was. I worked with him in Mangal Deep, Hingsha, Danoob to name a few. He was extremely affectionate towards me and he used to always tell me how to enhance a scene. I have learnt a lot from him. That apart Tapasda was a great foodie. I met him last at the airport where he was talking about his ups and downs in life, but the smile was there and I will always remember that. He told me, 'Sei Bittu ajkotoborohoeageche and I will remember that hug!'
