The
industry
has
been
abuzz
with
rumours
of
yet
another
filmi
break-up.
Insiders
report
that
Moushumi
Chatterjee
has
thrown
out
her
husband,
Jayanto
Mukherjee
(also
known
as
Babu),
from
Nibbana
Apartments
in
Bandra.
Since
December
2005,
Babu
has
been
living
alone
in
a
flat
in
Gitanjali
Studios
in
Khar.
The
reason?
Marital
discord.
When
we
called
Babu,
this
is
what
he
had
to
say.
"It's
true
that
I
have
been
staying
separately
from
Moushumi
and
my
two
daughters,
Payal
and
Meghna.
But
Moushumi
and
I
are
very
happy
together." Err,
come
again?
Keeping guard
"The reason I've shifted to Gitanjali is because the studio building is being redeveloped into a residential block. Since the building could not be kept empty in the interim, it was better that I occupy it and prevent any anti-social elements from entering the premises. I've been staying on the first floor and am always on hand should any problems arise," says Babu.
Noted singer Hemanto Mukherjee had bought Gitanjali Studios in 1954, after which he bought a flat in Nibbana. "I've been brought up in Gitanjali Studios and stayed here for several years after marriage before shifting to Nibbana," says Babu.
Manager mom
Babu insists that he goes to Nibbana Apartments everyday. "I keep commuting from Nibbana to Gitanjali and back. In fact, Moushumi and I will be going for a holiday to the USA in a couple of months. I've also bought a flat in Kolkata, as I like the city very much," he says.
Talking further on his home front, he is very excited that his daughters are doing well professionally. Payal works as a creative head in Sony TV, while Meghna has completed Tarun Majumdar's Bengali film Bhalobashar Onek Naam.
Says Babu, "Payal is extremely busy with her work and won't be able to join us for the holiday. Meghna's Bengali film flopped but she has signed up a couple of Hindi films now."
As for giving his daughter some parental advice, he says, "That's Moushumi's responsibility. She looks into all that and is managing Meghna's career."
