Uttamkumar's love story that many don't know


Published: 03:50 3 September 2025
Today, September 3, is the birthday of Uttam Kumar, the romantic legend of Bengali cinema. His real name is Arun Kumar Chatterjee. The star who is still remembered for his romance on the screen, had an impeccable love story in his personal life as well. The story of Uttam Kumar's love and relationship with Gauri Devi is still filled with excitement and tenderness.
At that time, Uttam Kumar had not yet become a legend of cinema. His life was accompanied by neglect, neglect and unemployment. His addiction to acting and singing were his main support. He got his first job in the cash department of the Port Commissioner's Office. Although he was not busy in the office, he spent the rest of his time immersed in his dream of acting.
One day, on his way home from the office, he saw a beautiful girl for the first time—whose smile fascinated him. Uttam learned the name of the girl he met with Annapurna, "Gauri Rani Ganguly." Falling in love with this girl from an aristocratic family was not easy, but Uttam Kumar's mind did not allow obstacles.
First, to establish contact with Gauri, he started singing on the harmonium. However, the first attempt failed. Only a few days later, Gauri showed her interest and reached out to Uttam through Annapurna. Thus began the story of their gradual reunion.
This love relationship gradually deepened. Even when deciding to enter the cinema, Uttamkumar first asked Gauri's opinion. Gauri replied with a smiling face, "I will be happier if you enter the cinema."
But love was never easy. When Gauri's grandmother took her with her to watch the movie 'Drishtidan', Gauri's love for Uttamkumar was revealed, which surprised her grandmother. As a result, some restrictions were imposed at home, but the love did not end.
In the end, when Gauri's marriage was fixed, even though she did not agree, Uttamkumar broke all his hesitation and rushed to Gauri's house. Gauri also took him by the hand and took him to her own house. After much bickering, Gauri's father agreed, and the dream came true—Uttam Kumar and Gauri Devi were finally united.
This story is not just about romance, but also about patience, perseverance, and true love. Even today, on the birthday of Uttam Kumar, the romantic hero of Bengali cinema, this story touches the heart.
