Biswanath Basu is one happy guy. The reason being that he has been conferred the Best Actor Award for Zee Gourab for his megaserial Subarnalata. Says the actor, who has experimented with a serious character this time around, “I had least expected the award. I must say I was pleasantly surprised when my name was called out. This was the first time that I won an award for a serious role. I am more known for my comic capers.
So, it was rewarding to know that people are liking my work.” Biswanath adds that he had tough contendors like Sudip Mukherjee. “But
Bhaswar Chatterjee kept reassuring me by saying that the award was mine. He was all praises for my role. I have never seen an actor with such an open mind,” the actor signs off.
