Tollywood actor-screenwriter Debapratim Dasgupta declares to return the award given by the state government; Says, “If needed, I will borrow the money”

Debapratim Dasgupta, a noted actor and screenwriter in Bengali cinema, has declared he will return his ‘Tele Academy Award’ from 2018. This decision aligns with other artists’ protests against the RG Kar rape-murder incident. The move follows controversial remarks by Kanchan Mallick urging award recipients to return their honors.
