Family
Bhaswar's great grandfather late Bhimchandra Chatterjee, though an electrical engineer, was the architect of the Benaras Hindu university (on insistence of late Madan Mohan Malviya). His Elements of applied electricity book books were in circulation a few years back.
Though he belongs to a family of 4 generations of engineers he always wanted to be an actor. Probably his acting genes come from his mother's side whose uncle Debi Mukherje] was a star actor in the 1940s.
Philanthropy
Bhaswar Chatterjee runs an ngo Aparna foundation in his mother's name where he basically helps the poor and needy. He collects old used clothes and other accessories and distributes them to different parts of Kolkata and its outskirts. Along with it also helps a few students for higher studies.
