Satyajit Ray's centenary celebrations stalled by pandemic, informs son Sandip Ray

On the 100th birth anniversary of his legendary father, director Sandip Ray is reconciled to the fact that his 1/1 Bishop Lefroy Road residence, a place for pilgrimage for fans of arguably India's best-known moviemaker Satyajit Ray, will remain deserted. Sandip, who along with other family members had earlier planned a year-long birth centenary which is now being postponed, told PTI he was not in favour of any zoom meet "which doesn't befit such an occasion involving an icon like Ray." The ongoing pandemic and the health emergency which it has created hitting hundreds of thousands of people has forced the family to rethink plans for the celebrations as it thinks such events would be inappropriate at this time.
