His father, Dr. Sukumar Chatterjee, was an eminent doctor, and his mother, Pramila Chatterjee, was a teacher of Bengali at City College and Arjakanya Mahabidalaya. Although a busy doctor, his father would occasionally, as part of his artistic passions, play the Esraj and act in theatre and Bengali films. His mother used to play the organ as a past time. [1][2]
