Late actor Soumitra Chatterjee doubles up as painter
A few of the works on show seemed more like light-hearted doodling, even puerile, which the actor was not too eager to disclose.
Gulfam Khan, known for acting in shows like "Naamkarann" and "Khwaabon Ki Zamin Par", says had she not been an actress, she would have been a painter or a fine artist.
Gulfam said in a statement: "Reading and painting have always been my interests… whether it's painting, recycling or artwork. Had I not been an actor or writer, I would have definitely been a painter or a fine artist. Painting kind of unwinds me. I get lost in the colours and forms. Books have also been my companions."
But she didn't pick up her first book out of interest.

"Since I was in class five, my first book was 'Rumpelstiltskin'. My teacher had forced it on me because I would refuse to communicate. Since then I am addicted to books. I carry at least one book on the set," she said.
"That was one of the things that helped me to bond with Reema ji (late actress Reema Lagoo)," she added.
