Don’t forget to come on Raksha Bandhan, Mamata requested Shahrukh

Kolkata: Welcoming all the delegates for participation, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee mentions Kolkata as the cultural capital of World.

Ms Banerjee reminds of Uttam Kumar, Soumitra Chattopadhyay, Suchitra Sen and Supriya Devi from the Nabanna Sabhaghar. “If the Bengali industry has been provided proper backups and infrastructures then they may beat Bollywood and Hollywood in terms of talent. Bengal is still the cultural capital of India, I think”, she added.
