Rituparna starts shooting for Hindi film in Mumbai

Rituparna Sengupta flew from Singapore to Mumbai on June 22. The actress took her first jab of the vaccine on June 23 as from July 3 she has started shooting for Veena Bakshi’s Hindi film,

Ittar

, where she is paired opposite Dipak Tijori. “There were lots of acting workshops, costume trials, makeup tests before a film went on the floor. So, I was busy doing all these for Ittar, which is a mature love story,” said the actress, who was in Kolkata on Thursday.

“My mother-in-law is extremely unwell and is admitted to a city nursing home. A few days back, she had fallen and had a severe shoulder injury. On Wednesday, there has a long surgery, and she was not keeping well. So, I came to Kolkata on Thursday to meet the doctor’s team who are treating her. But now, she is a little better. I’m leaving today as my shoot starts tomorrow. I met my mother too after five months and she was asking me to stay back for a day, but I couldn’t because of professional commitments,” said Rituparna.

Other than Ittar, the actress will also complete shooting for

Salt

in Mumbai where she is paired opposite Chandan Roy Sanyal. “I will be back in Kolkata in August as I must complete shooting for Ranjan Ghosh’s Mahishasura Mardini. Added to that I have to complete dubbing for Arindam Sil’s Mayakumari,” said Rituparna.
