Question: Ipsita is the ‘good girl’ in the Bengali serial. Not bad at all. Ipsita will never do a feature film?
Espitia: ‘Mohar’ and ‘Sannyasi Raja’—I played negative roles for a short time in these two serials…
Question: But it was for such a short period of time that it has completely disappeared from people’s minds. Not in ‘Top of the Mind Recall’. So your presence on the screen means the audience assumes a good character…
Ipsita: No one has actually cast me in such a negative role. I wasn’t interested in that either.
Question: When you were brought in the serial ‘Ekkadokka’, many viewers felt that you will not be given a negative character here either. Although there is confusion about your Bublu character in the serial…
Epsita: So far, it has been kept in the dark about Bublu in ‘Ekkadokka’. The character is unique to each person. I am thankful to Leena aunty for giving me this role. There are many shades in the character.
Question: But that is much more challenging…
Epsita: a lot Every day I have to act differently. Sometimes very good, sometimes very bad. Always make everything believable. Bubble matches himself to each person as they are. He doesn’t let anyone understand what he wants. That worries me a lot.
Question: But many viewers think that Bublu is just good…
Epsita: He is good. She is Radhika (The heroine’s name in the serial ‘Ekkadokka’ is Radhika. She is the wife of hero Pokhraj and Bublu’s elder sister. Two sisters are married in the same family. Buble is accepted and liked by everyone. And Radhika can’t be tolerated or wanted by anyone for various reasons. Samani Saha played the role of Radhika. Saptarshi Moulik played the role of Pokhraj) and came to protect.
Question: Bublui is Kamalini again in the ‘Dhulokana’ series…
Question: Ipsita himself what kind of person? Who is more similar – Bublu or Kamalini?
Ipsita: See, I talk too much. You can tell by talking to me. So I can say that my mind is like Kamalini. But my nature is like Buble. I’m freaking out…
Question: In Bengali serials or movies, especially your recently released ‘Prasenjit Weds Rituparna’, it seems that you are not like the so-called sneaky actresses.
Epsita: Not at all. Rightly said. I am Gublu…
Question: Is it difficult for Gublu girl to get a job?
Epsita: No, not at all. In my case, it is a little different. I am not like that on purpose. Been trying to lose weight for years. But I can’t be anything. Lust for delicious food…
Question: Are you grumbling…?
Epsita: fierce Be that as it may… I got a chance in the movie ‘Prosenjit Weds Rituparna’ because I was a slob.
Question: Another 10 kilos?
Epsita: yes 10 more kilos… getting skinny now…
Question: Face to face it may be caught in the eyes of many!
Epsita: Everyone is grumbling now. The channel says, ‘Be healthy, otherwise, I can’t make you a heroine’. But what happens when you see the food, did not eat… that’s it!
Question: If you lean on it, the ‘chubbiness’ will go away…
Question: Sounds like you have polycystic ovaries… so?
Epsita: yes I have that too. But the doctor said, losing weight will fix that too…
Question: Well, one more thing, why didn’t I see you on Facebook? I see you on Instagram…
Epsita: I’m not on Facebook. Just do Instagram. I don’t do Facebook. I am not really a very social person. Very homely. I don’t give updates about my personal life like that…
Question: I didn’t ask you any questions about my personal life but…
Epsita: I really don’t want to talk about my personal life…
