Speaking exclusively to this writer Rakhee di said, “Ye, I am doing another Bengali film after five years. If you remember I had done a Bengali film Mukti in 2018. Normally, I’d say no to any acting offer, no matter how tempting. But when the director of Mukti had told me that he was doing a screen adaptation of Moti Nandy’s classic novel ‘Bijolibalar Mukti’, I agreed to make an exception. It was a very topical subject. It touched on communal and caste issues and also on the rights and privileges of a 70-year-old Brahmin widow.”

 

Now, Raakhe di returns to Bangla cinema with Amar Boss, directed by Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee. Said the serene actress, “Given a choice, I would rather be away from the public eye comfortably ensconced in my farmhouse. But the co-directors Nandita and Shibo were adamant, and I really liked the script. We are likely to start shooting in January.”

 

Should we consider this a new beginning in Rakhee di’s career? “Nothing like that. I was always a reluctant actress. I still am,” she said as her laughter reverberated in the air.
