There are stories about her slapping male co-stars who crossed the line. In a recent chat with Subhash K Jha, Moushumi opened up about this and how speaking her mind cost her roles. When reminded of the times she “slapped actors who misbehaved," Moushumi said, “They deserved it, they were sexist, but I don’t blame them for this.
You have to see both sides of the coin. The heroes used to flirt with the heroines, and they expected the heroines to reciprocate. That is the only way they knew.
They didn’t know any other way. Men are brought up with mothers pampering them, wives pampering them, sisters pampering them." In the same interview, Moushumi Chatterjee discussed how her refusal to compromise her dignity led to her losing several roles.

Coincidentally, Haribhai (Sanjeev Kumar) was my hero in Koshish, and also in Angoor. I lost a lot of roles as I wouldn’t pander to anyone’s ego." About Moushumi Chatterjee Moushumi Chatterjee is a respected veteran actress in Indian cinema, known for her work in Hindi and Bengali films.
