While assisting “Kamallata”, Mrs. Suchitra Sen was quite close to him among all other assistants. She use to share many things, She use to bring a cassette player and listen to songs of Rabindranath Tagore on sets. Before shooting she use to listen to them to enhance her mood. That makes her a great actress of her time.

Madam Suchitra Sen suggested him to direct his own film. She assured him full cooperation for the project. He was determined to start his own venture, only that under a good banner and with a star performer.
Under her inspiration he directed his first and independent venture “Megh Kalo”, written by Dr.Nihar Ranjan Gupta with Suchitra Sen as a lead actress in a dyanamic role. She kept her words and immensely cooperated in the project. Other caste members were Basanta Choudhury, Chaya Devi, Bikash Roy, Subrata,etc. The film got immense aknowledgement, Also did very well in the market.
In this context, I should add that Mrs.Sen was not only a great actress of all time but a great human being as well. Heard from him,She contributed great deal on the making of ‘Megh Kalo’.She not only gave more emphasis on the character by giving his inputs but also does many things to enhance her performance.She loved to listen to the music and soft songs and usually carried rabindra sangeet cassettes on the set along with the record player.
Even after many years, he was among few people, who got opportunity to meet Mrs.Sen occasionally.As she took recluse from the industry and away from the limelight for many years.

After that he did “ Ami Sirajer Begum”, a historical period drama with Sandhya Roy and Biswajit.
On those days, the work of art was a joint participation of the technicians and the artists. They create excellence through the alliance. He always believe in creating rather than earning. He gave his utmost to the field, despite his worse economic condition.
