Hate is many times powerful than love. One can imagine the quantum of love one requires to heal the wounds inflicted by hatred.
Was that a reason why Tapas Paul, one of the numero uno of Bengali cinema and also in Bollywood, for a while, died after suffering an insignia that haunted him till death.
So many conclusions have been drawn as what triggered the decline of the health Paul of ‘Parabat Priya’ fame who also had a magnanimous tryst with success in his performance in ‘Anurager Choyan’.
It is now said that, politics and it’s undecipherable dynamics produced a plot in which Tapas was allegedly snared and, perhaps, till his last days, he could not wriggle out of that cycle of ‘ political vendetta’ .
Always viewed as the man next to the Bengali cinema mega star of those years, Uttam Kumar, Tapas was once quoted to have the regrets that, he could not act with Uttam Kumar.
It was a queer mix of a profession you come from and one that you are thrust upon. Tapas Paul, perhaps, made the mistake of making the right choice and many actors do these days.
Mired in the quagmire of alleged Ponzi scam and all that, Tapas should have been wiser, if it was not the case, to have made it clear rather than submitting to the political designs, if any, and become a kind of portmanteau and allowing his helplessness dissected by politics.
