Veteran actress Mousumi Chatterjee recently graced the press conference for her upcoming film
Aarii
, marking her return to the Tollywood industry after a 12-year hiatus. Known for her ever-cheerful personality, Mousumi shared her excitement about being back in the Bengali film industry. “I’m very happy to be doing a Bengali film after such a long time. You need a good script to say yes to a project, and this story impressed me,” she said.
The film explores the relationship between a mother and her son, played by Yash Daasgupta. “The way our director approached the film was wonderful,” Mousumi explained. “My younger daughter insisted that I do the film, and thank God I said yes to
Aarii
. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have met Yash and Nussrat, who lovingly refer to me as 'Mou,’” she said with a smile.
Talking about her love for traditional Bengali treats, the veteran actress shared, “I love pithe, payesh. I spotted tal while coming back from the airport and asked if I could have
taler bora.
The crew made it for me on the set.
