Happy the way things are shaping up: Rittika

"Touchwood, things are really progressing good, the way I wanted. But If I got good roles in different genre of films from Borbaad by Raj Chakroborty to Arshinagar,  my innings has just begun. I am looking forward to meatier roles," Rittika told IBNS at the music launch of the upcoming film  'Ashchey Bochor Abar Hobe' where she is the lead female cast.

Terming her experience in Arshinagar as rich, Rittika said, "When the shoot of Aschhe Bachhor Abar Hobe took place in 2012, I was a bit tentative but that left me as the unit was friendly and we thought that we were celebrating puja with a big crowd on camera.

"I remember we missed the pusjhpanjali on one day of the puja and so went to the puja pandal the next day at the appointed hours and the whose unit paid obeisance to the Goddess along with the para crowd in Durgapur."

"In Kolkata we hardly sit in one pandal and move around flaunting the best wear, traditional and modern in sync with the time of the day. The conecpt of sitting in para pandal is passe in the city. But we were amazed to see how in Durgpur the whole neighbourhood sat in their para pandal throughout the day. And we were there too. We felt at home," she said.

Rittika, who also recalled how she accompanied the puja organisers to 'river ghat' for 'kala bou snan' (a ritual on the first day of the five- day Durga puja festival) and that was recorded in the film, said, "While shooting, I got to do things which I missed During puja in my own city."
