Mousumi Chatterjee attends the press conference of Aarii alongside Yash and Nussrat

Veteran actress Mousumi Chatterjee recently graced the press conference for her upcoming film Aarii, marking her return to the Tollywood industry after a 12-year hiatus. Known for her ever-cheerful personality, Mousumi shared her excitement about being back in the Bengali film industry. “I’m very happy to be doing a Bengali film after such a long time. You need a good script to say yes to a project, and this story impressed me,” she said.

The film explores the relationship between a mother and her son, played by Yash Daasgupta. “The way our director approached the film was wonderful,” Mousumi explained. “My younger daughter insisted that I do the film, and thank God I said yes to Aarii. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have met Yash and Nussrat, who lovingly refer to me as 'Mou,’” she said with a smile.

Talking about her love for traditional Bengali treats, the veteran actress shared, “I love pithe, payesh. I spotted tal while coming back from the airport and asked if I could have taler bora. The crew made it for me on the set.
