Abhishek Chatterjee's co-actor Priyanka Mitra saddened by his sudden demise

Co-actor

Priyanka Mitra

is distraught after veteran actor Abhishek Chatterjee's sudden demise. They were often seen in scenes together from the popular Bengali TV serial,

Khorkuto

. "His death news was shocking to say the least. A couple of days before he passed away, we shot together for the TV serial. He was keeping a little unwell though," Priyanka said.
The actress is relatively new to television and feels blessed to have worked with veterans like Abhishek. "I had scenes with him in two of my TV serials - Khorkuto and Mohor. In

Mohor

, I play a negative character and my very first scene with him was to point a finger at him while delivering my dialogue. I was hesitant but he made it easy for me by saying, 'Ekhon amar dike finger point kore ne, pore ekta chocolate khaiyye dish'," she shared.
Priyanka thinks there will not be another actor and human being like him. "Besides being a good actor, he was a very good human being as well. He would always address me as 'Ma' off the sets. The last photo I shot with him was in between shooting a Holi sequence for our serial. I was clicking my pictures when he joined in saying, 'Tor ei lakh takar hashir photo te amake nibi na?'," she shared.
When asked whether the directors are thinking of his replacement in the TV serials, Priyanka said, "Replacing him will be difficult for anyone. He was an intrinsic part of the making of these shows and he will always remain special for us and his viewers. Maybe, the directors and writers will be able to say but we can't imagine shooting without him."
