Dev has often been criticised for having a certain accent in his Bengali pronunciation. This is because he has spent a long time of his life outside Bengal. Even after so many years in the Bengali film industry, he is still taunted due to his pronunciation. Some people make fun of him, and some people criticise him. A four-year-old video recently got viral where National Award-winning actress Sudipta Chakraborty was seen asking Dev something about his accent and her question enraged Dev’s fans on social media.  

The said video was a clip from a non-fiction show. Saswata, who was the anchor, asked Sudipta to question Dev. Sudipta frankly asked him, “When shall we hear you speaking correct Bengali pronunciation? 2023 or 2032?” 

Sudipta’s question shows that Dev’s pronunciation is a subject of discussion within the film industry also. Sudipta got trolled for ‘commenting’ on his diction that too, at a time when he has been giving ‘hits to the industry’. 

However, Dev himself recognised his drawback in several interviews. He said that he was trying to make his pronunciation clearer and free of Hindi influence. His recent films give evidence of his efforts. But trolling is a trend in social media. Hence Sudipta was trolled and taunted. 

Meanwhile, Sudipta and Dev are known to have a warm and cordial relationship. The actress has been training Rukmini Maitra for Ram Kamal Mukherjee’s Binodini: Ekti Natir Upakhyan – a film that is also produced by Dev’s production house. Sudipta will also be seen in Dev’s Bagha Jatin.
