Gulzar: It was full of positivity

Forty-nine is too young to die. This is a profound shock and disturbing news for me. I remember as a very young boy and enthusiastic when Aparna Sen had sent me. I realized it was full of positivity and have never seen so boring. I also wrote the lyrics of his first documentary Vande Matram. He won two National Awards Unishe April, but I liked your Noukadubi and felt it deserved a prize for it. Through the years, met with success at work, but it has always been in contact. It is a profound loss. He was exultant about every moment in life and always smiling.

Ajay Devgn: Your way of seeing things was so different

Konkona Sen Sharma: He helps me with my grammar Bengali

It's a shock. He was a brave, sensitive and inspiring filmmaker. He was very polite in movies, not just the Bengali cinema. He was very aware of their own cultural heritage, however, made films that were relevant and contemporary, internationally. It was like family - that would help me with my grammar Bengali. It was so funny and had such enthusiasm for life. He was a great mind and this is a great loss.

I can not believe that Ritu longer exists. We lost one of our greatest talents. It is a personal loss, was a fierce friend, a human being with. Always got the better of me. Will be dearly missed.

Bipasha Basu: He rebuke like her little sister

Rituda understand my sensitivity, which are different and there would be matched with a director Bengali old school. When shooting Shob Charito KALPONIK, he would scold like his little sister. He called me by my nickname, Bonny, apart from him, only my parents use. It was never boring and that's why I was so comfortable with him.

Deepti Naval: Ritu was a brave filmmaker

When I received a call from him to Memories in March, I jumped at the opportunity because I love his work as a director and as a writer. So when I heard that Sanjoy Nag would direct the film and Ritu - I had written the script - would be my co-star, I was so excited! I had a shooting moments with him. I love his movies. It was one of the bravest and courageous filmmakers in India, which addressed the full aspect of their sexuality. And put a lot at stake for that visit. He was also very sensitive and portrayed women and relationships and nuances so beautifully. I'm in love because they had the courage to do what he did.

Soha Ali Khan: Rituda brought the best out of his players

He has been at the forefront of good cinema in Bengal, the relationship between Ray and a new school. I had just begun to make his most recent film more acceptable alternative to the mainstream. I will always treasure my experience of working with him in Antarmahal. I was hoping to work with him at some point. He was passionate and sensitive and knew how to get the best out of his actors. I will miss him.

Arjun Rampal: He was a master of his craft

I do not know how to react to this tragedy. My wife sent a message: "Rituparno Ghosh more". It's shocking. The Last Lear was a great experience and happens to be one of my favorite shows ever. He was a wonderful man, a master of his craft and learned a lot from him.

Raima Sen: My life and career turned around with Chokher Bali

Byomkesh He just finished a few days ago. I have worked in all his films except the last. He had called me to this and said I was going to miss the games. He changed my life and run around with Chokher Bali. He was my mentor - he taught me a lot, told me the books to read, what movies to watch, etc. He would come to our house - we have seen (my sister and I) grow. Every time I was in Mumbai, stay with us. With Rituda gone, you will do these beautiful movies now? He was immensely talented and contributed much to Indian cinema.

Subhash Ghai: It was a true artist

India has lost one of its greatest filmmakers. He was extremely sensitive as a director and a true artist. I liked Noukadubi, which had produced so much that I bent in Hindi as Kashmakash and let go.

Anupam Kher: I knew the female psyche

He was a great director and effortless at what he did. He had an incredible knowledge of the female psyche. There was little nuances collect and use in his films.

Kirron Kher: There was an actor in it

Not only was he a great director, but also a prolific writer. He took our film to an international platform, so even Bollywood actors would give an arm to work with. Bariwali While filming, I got a National Award for Best Actress, every morning, I was rubbing my face with my pallu. I wanted to know if I had any makeup secretly. Sometimes, I would be tempted to dub itself. I said, 'Cry as I'm crying'. There was always an actor in it.

Bipasha basu- sexy, svelte and svvy

MUMBAI: The very sexy, the very svelte and the very savvy Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu has bagged two plum endorsements: that of the India Resort Fashion Week (IRFW) and the India Fashion Awards (IFA).

Spotted at the announcement ceremony, Bipasha looked incredibly stylish and sexy in a stunning Rocky S creation: a dress which had a nude embellished top and a high waisted skirt, flowing outwards.

Bipasha’s hair and makeup made us wonder if she was completely into the ‘Aatma’ mode: for the lady’s style statement was, well, very other-worldly. Hair with extended curls and oversized puffs, while her makeup was dark and sinister, just as her upcoming film ‘Aatma’ promises to be.

Indian designer Rocky S and E-Sense Entertainment Global Head Amit Patel have joined forces to usher in revolutionary changes in resort fashion wear for Indian consumers, and thus the IRFW is the perfect event to showcase their innovations. Bipasha being chosen brand ambassador for the same is only the cherry on the cake, which will most certainly lead to wider global and domestic exposure.

Also seen at the announcement ceremony was Rocky S, in a sharp steel grey suit and oversized reading glasses, redefining geek chic for men. Amit Patel was spotted sporting a white shirt, grey blazer and blue denims.

Bipasha’s Anti-smoking Act

Bipasha Basu in Pankh

Bipasha Basu’s anti-smoking act has been recently seen on the sets of Pankh, when she refused to hold cigarette in hand for a song sequence of the film. However director Sudipto Chattopadhyay understood her concern and came up with a creative solution on it.

Bipasha is well known in the industry as to never drink or smoke. She is health conscious and so refused to smoke a cigarette for a scene thinking that it might promote smoking into audience. “The director of the film wanted Bipasha to smoke on screen for a vital sequence. However, Bipasha flatly refused as she does not encourage smoking and hates it. She was not in favour of the scene and if she smokes, it meant that she would be promoting smoking. After that, Sudipto even gave her the option of holding a cigarette, but she refused that as well. Sudipto understood her point of view and agreed to shoot the scene differently,” a source said.

The actress confirmed it and explained her point, “I don’t smoke and I don’t encourage smoking. Unless it’s absolutely essential to smoke for my role, I wouldn’t agree to do it. In Pankh, it was not essential, hence I refused. I had also refused to smoke in one of my earlier films, Corporate. If my role is that of an addict, then I will do whatever the character and the role demands, which was not the case with Pankh.”

The director agreed to Bips point of view and planned something else for the scene. “It was a song sequence with a smoky atmosphere. We wanted to show that when she starts singing, smoke comes out of her mouth. However, she had a very valid point that smoking was a very politically incorrect thing to do. She said that she does not endorse smoking and she did not endorse John doing No Smoking. She had never smoked in her life. We can’t fake smoking like we do with drinking. So, eventually, we placed a canister jar in front of her which emitted smoke and we framed it in such a way that when she sings, it seems that the smoke is coming out of her mouth,” said the director.

Also the producer of the film, Sanjay Gupta said, “It’s the question of an actor being comfortable. Bipasha had some inhibitions about it and it’s perfectly fine.”

May be Bips is inspired from beau John Abraham for fitness and no smoking mantra. John earlier had done a film titled No Smoking, showing rehabilitation of smoking addicts in different way.
