उत्तर
Gogon Praskahi was Patol Babu’s mentor. He was not only a wonderful actor but also a very humble person. Mr Prakashi used to say that it is the responsibility of the actor to serve the essence of his dialogues to the audience for their edification. He also told Patol Babu that no matter how small a role is, he should never consider it below his dignity to accept it. As an artist, his aim should be to make the most of the opportunity he has received.
