Rituparna Sengupta on her character in Akkarshan, politics and more
Debraj Sinha'sAkkarshan is a complex portrayal of woman power, keeping human relationships in a charged corporate environment in perspective. It's about the positives that can be salvaged from a negative environment through a humane approach to life. ���The film will inspire us to dispel pessimism and lead a life full of infinite optimism," said RituparnaSengupta, who plays the lead along with SamadarshiDutta in this film.

���It is about a fatal attraction between Sayak (Samadarshi) and my character, Tora. Sayak plays my boss, who gets into a romantic relationship with me despite having a happy married life. After the relationship ends in face of office politics, I begin to wonder whether it was lust that had driven Sayak to start it in the first place. I begin to feel exploited and start feeling like a victim. After all, it's always the woman who ends up getting emotionally drained in a romantic relationship gone wrong," Rituparna said.
���I'm playing such an intense role after a long time. It challenged me to explore beyond the normal definitions of acting. I loved essaying the character, as it has many shades to it. Also, I had a great time working with Samadarshi. He's extremely professional," the actress added.
The film shows the impact of corporate politics on the lives of various individuals. We asked Rituparna, a veteran in the film industry, about the presence of internal politics in Tollywood. ���Politics is present in every professional field and this includes Tollywood too. But the real trick is how one deals with it. I, too, have been a victim of Tollywood politics, but I treated it as a part of my life rather than a hindrance. So, it didn't really affect me much," said the actress with a smile.
Akkarshan, produced by Shivam Productions 2011, releases today.
