Uttam Kumar’s many tales,

Known by only a few in trails.

Some words he shared with a co-actor,

Whose name remains unknown thereafter.

Acting’s first challenge, common for all,

A hand on the cheek, I recall.

Lost in thought, my hand spun ’round,

Thinking of this, my mind unwound.

A new actress spoke of it one day,

Uttam Kumar lifted her in a play.

Sometimes hair, sometimes the saree’s flow,

He managed all with an expert’s know.

Then came the last scene’s event,

Uttam Kumar, lips curved, descent.

Once the shot was captured, alas,

He repeated it several times, no less.

In some things, he wasn’t keen,

His mind found acting not so pristine.

Director’s words at the finale,

Hands clapped after, a joyful rally.

Thus ended his acting spree,

Life’s last scene, the final decree.

People’s hearts filled that day,

Perfectionist’s work, in disarray.

A kiss scene in a movie once lay,

With a co-actress, he’d portray,

In her distress, he’d lay a hand cold,

Saying, “We’ll manage,” bold and bold.

Then from behind, he’d turn his head,

The kiss scene, in camera’s stead.

Later edited with great care,

A perfect shot, beyond compare.

A fear of ghosts, it’s been said,

An incident around this thread.

Taking his family along, they say,

Uttam Kumar fled one day.

Planning to meet them there,

A house stood, their joys to share.

Later, he shared the sad truth,

A suicide had robbed them of youth.

Haunted by a spectral dread,

Leaving the house, he sped.

From behind, he saw with dread,

A snake-charmer’s image, a shiver’s thread.

Uttam Kumar, football and cricket in play,

Loved games, in leisure’s sway.

Apart from that, wrestling, fencing so dear,

He’d practice, his goals were clear.

He found time to learn,

Hindi and Urdu, within his turn.

Even in leisure, it’s true,

Music and singing he’d pursue.
