Watch: Satyajit Ray seen receiving Lifetime Achievement Oscar in bed from Audrey Hepburn

On the legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray's 93rd birthday anniversary we bring you the video which shows him receiving Honorary Oscar in 1992 for Lifetime Achievement. Since Ray was unable to attend the ceremony because of his illness, he gave his acceptance speech as he lay on the hospital bed to the Academy though live video feed. He received the award from Audrey Hepburn, one of his favourite actresses who represented the Academy on that day in Calcutta. Ray, who directed 36 films, including documentaries and short films, was born on this day and was considered one of the greatest filmmakers of his time. Ray's grandfather was Upendra Kishor Ray Chaudhari, one of the founding members of the Bramha Samaj and his father was renowned Bengali poet who pioneered the use of non-sense verses in any Indian language, Sukumar Ray.
