In a sad bit of news veteran actor Soumitra Chatterjee passed away at the age of 85 in Kolkata after prolonged illness. After the news of his death went viral, Manoj Bajpayee  took to his Twitter handle to mourn the loss of the actor. The Satya actor wrote, ‘Tragic loss!! Rest in peace Sir!! Your contribution to the Indian Cinema will always be remembered and inspire the generations to come !!’

Soumitra Chatterjee was admitted to the hospital on October 6, just a day after he tested positive for COVID-19. The actor tested negative a little after a week on October 14 but he remained admitted because of health complications, especially COVID-19 induced encephalopathy. Within a few days after Mr Chatterjee tested negative, the doctors said he was recovering and would be able to walk in a few days.  He was reportedly given plasmapheresis on Thursday and tracheostomy on Wednesday.
