Victor
Banerjee
in
his
2023
film,
Raktabeej.
“I
got
a
minor
stroke,”
Victor
Banerjee
tells
Subhash
K
Jha.
“When
I
got
your
message,
I
was
being
discharged.
Now,
I
am
back
home
in
Mussoorie.
It
was
a
minor
stroke;
I
am
walking,
talking
and
breathing.
Not
jumping
but
that’s
it,”
he
adds.
Victor
was
hospitalised
for
six
days.
“This
was
my
first
time
in
the
hospital,
and
I
hope
it
is
the
last,”
he
says.
“I
put
out
a
message
in
Hindi
in
the
papers
in
Bengal.
It
said,
‘I
was
on
the
way
up.
But
because
of
bad
weather
in
Mussoorie,
my
ticket
was
cancelled’.”
“Now,
I
have
to
rest.
My
doctors
have
told
me
that
I
will
not
be
on
my
feet
for
at
least
a
month.
My
wife
looked
after
me
while
I
was
hospital.
I
hope
I
will
get
to
catch
up
on
my
reading
though
I
am
not
as
well
read
as
people
think.
“My
erudite
image
is
all
an
act.
I’ve
put
on
an
act
for
so
many
years
and
people
fell
for
it.”
