Actor, Samrat Mukherjee, famously known for his acting skills in Tollywood made it to the headlines after he was taken under custody in a car accident case. For those who don't know, after the news surfaced online, Samrat was misinterpreted as a cousin of Bollywood actresses, Kajol and Rani Mukherji. Well, the arrest of such a high-profile celebrity has created a clamour in the media. But, let us tell you that the actor, Samrat Mukherjee, who was arrested, was not Kajol and Rani's cousin. Kajol's cousin, Samrat Mukherji, recently broke the silence about the same.
Kajol and Rani Mukherji's cousin, Samrat Mukherji, who is a Mumbai-based filmmaker, recently broke the silence about people confusing him with a Kolkata-based actor with the same name. The filmmaker, who is the owner of Filmalaya Studios, clarified that he has been getting a lot of phone calls since the morning, but he is not the same person who was arrested. Samrat added that actor, Samrat Mukherjee, who was arrested, doesn't belong to their family. He said:
"I would like to clarify that the actor Samrat Mukherjee, who met with an accident is not me. The actor Samrat Mukherjee is based in Kolkata and I am a filmmaker, owner of Filmalaya studios, based in Mumbai. Since morning I have been getting calls and tired now, telling them how I am not the same Samrat. It is reported that the actor who met with an accident belongs to our family, but it is not true. I would like to tell everyone, I am safe and based here in Mumbai. The actor Samrat Mukherjee does not belong to our family."
