Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan said that he cannot express his grief on losing Rituparno Ghosh, who died Thursday. The actor said that it was a big loss for the country.
"I have no words for the grief which I am feeling today. The country has lost a great artist," he told the media.
The superstar said that the two had just spoken a few days back.
"We had spoken on the phone a few days back about a film which we wanted to make together," he said.
The filmmaker had won 12 National Awards in various categories for movies like "Chokher Bali", "Unishe April", "Raincoat" and "The Last Lear".
