Rituparana Sengupta is referred to as the Queen of Tollywood, where she has worked with just about all the renowned film-makers and has given sterling performances in both commercial and art films.

And although "Main, Meri Patni Aur Woh" didn't do too well at the box-office, the marble-eyed beauty was appreciated by critics and the industry. Currently, she is busy with Dinesh Chugh's "Mittal vs Mittal". The film, directed by Karan Razdan, is on the subject of marital rape. Rituparna feels her role in the film is "far worthier than the senseless skin show that is so rampant these days". Perhaps, Bollywood could do with a few more intelligent actresses like her.
