Early life

Family

Bhaswar's great grandfather, the late Bhimchandra Chatterjee, though an electrical engineer, was the architect of the Benares Hindu university (on insistence of the late Madan Mohan Malviya). His Elements of applied electricity books were in circulation a few years back.[5]

Though he belongs to a family of four generations of engineers, he always wanted to be an actor. Probably his acting genes comes from his mother's side whose uncle Debi Mukherjee was a star actor in the 1940s.
