"And earlier in the day... My weak efforts at football during the shooting... Nostalgic in a way... For these were the football grounds of the major clubs when I visited Calcutta on a private visit with my parents in 1960... That we came to watch football games... Mohan Bagan, Mohammedan Sporting, East Bengal et al...," he wrote on his blog.
The "Piku" star recently injured his rib cage while shooting but has continued to fulfil his professional commitments.
