Shedding his super star tag film icon Prosenjit Chatterjee today mingled with autism-affecte4d children affirming these children have given him the most humbling lessons of life.

Prosenjit, travelling with autism-afflicted children of two homes in a rickety tram, told PTI "I sang and danced with these children. They are so exceptionally gifted. I don't wish to be known as a star. I can be their uncle and friend.

Prosenjit, turning up as an encounter specialist in Force, the cop who squeezes out time for his autistic little son, said, "If you wish you can relate with them. They yearn for the society to hear their little tales of happiness and dreams. Now I know they also watch my films, they had seen Mishawr Rawhosyo."
 

"But they wanted someone to hear how they liked the movie. And their faces lit up as they saw me," the Jaatiswar actor said.

Patting a eight-year old drummer on his back, Pop legend Usha Uthup said, ""You close the door for them, they will open the window and reach out to the outer world."

"The differently abled children are more determined to disprove the cynics as they have divine will power," Uthup said.

"They know Prosenjit Chatterjee is called Bumbada. They have also seen him in films shown on the television. Now they are reacting the same way on seeing him like other children," a lady teacher of the institution, accompanying the children, said.
