Raima Sen is back in action. The pretty actress will be soon seen playing a widow and the mother of a kid in Aparna's Sen directorial film The Japanese Wife – A love poem. Set to release on April 9, the film also sees actors like Rahul Bose, Moushumi Chatterjee and Japanese actress Chigusa Takaku. Raima talks shares her experience with our readers...
You play a widow in The Japanese Wife. How did you manage?
I play Sandhya in the film who is a widow and single mother of a eight-year-old kid. This is the first time I've played a deglam but didn't want to let go off this opportunity. After all, it's an Aparna Sen film.
Elucidate on the story of The Japanese Wife...
This is a haunting but improbable love story which revolves around a young village school teacher (Rahul Bose) marrying his Japanese pen friend (Chigusa Takaku) over letters and remaining true and loyal to her throughout his life, while actually never meeting her.
Sources claim this film is based on a book. Is it true?
That's absolutely true. The film is based on title story of The Japanese Wife and Other Stories by Anglo-Indian author Kunal Basu, who writes from Oxford.
How was it working with a tough taskmaster like Aparna Sen?
Well honestly, I was scared before because I had this preconceived notion that she is usually tough on the sets. But whenever I goofed up during a scene, she used to explain and even scream when needed. Otherwise she used to pamper me like her daughter and it was such a wonderful experience working with her. I'm truly blessed.
How was it working with your co-star Rahul Bose?
I think he's brilliant as an actor and I learnt a lot from him. We shared a good rapport.
