It was actually a very long conversation with the brilliant Anasuya Sengupta. When I got a call from her team to do the interview on-ground in Calcutta… that was the day I was actually travelling back to Bombay. But we did catch up over zoom for this interview for my column ‘Not Just Bollywood’ For those who think cinema to be frivolous… let me tell you CINEMA is ART and CINEMA is CULTURE. Second part of the interview coming up soon. In an exclusive interview with Firstpost’s Lachmi Deb Roy for ‘Not Just Bollywood’, Anasuya Sengupta talks about her Cannes best actress award win, being interested in art and culture from the very beginning, being cast out of Facebook and more.

From groundbreaking awards to fashion with a cause, Indian artistes, in particular, had quite a moment at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, prompting the world to take note of cinema emerging from the Indian subcontinent as a potent platform for diverse social commentary wrapped in artistic brilliance. An integral part of this success story was Anasuya Sengupta (@cup_o_t ), who clinched the Un Certain Regard Prize for Best Actress for her role in The Shameless. Hailing from Kolkata, India, the 37-year-old actress made history as the first Indian to receive this prestigious award. In a candid conversation with @ktcitytimes , the actor talks about her humble beginnings in Kolkata, how she navigated the city of Mumbai as a production designer and now, paving the way for women of colour in cinema worldwide with her Cannes triumph.

MISFITS AREN’T MISFITS AMONG MISFITS Attempted to shatter stereotypes, with my mother in tow, in the finest company, thanks to @t2telegraph No matter how much we try to learn and know, we’re really all in a sea of mystery. The only hope then is to unlearn, review, share, grow , and listen to each other more. What an incredible honour to be a heteronormative married woman and get invited to be part of a panel exemplifying queer rage and healing with equal ease. Thank you for giving me a spot in your panel, and your hearts ❤️🙏🏾 Here’s to making a better world for our children, and here’s always , to friendship.

Anasuya Sengupta was in town to attend ‘Unlearning The Toxic Habits Of Stereotyping’ presented by t2 in association with Kolkata Pride and Smirnoff Lemon Pop non-alcoholic on June 19, at Olterra. The Calcutta girl who won the best actress award in the Un Certain Regard at Cannes film festival this year, the first Indian to do so, for her brilliant turn in Konstantin Bojanov’s The Shameless, got into a Bobo Calcutta power look for the evening. Make-up pro Abhijith Chanda and hairstylist Abhijit Das got her ready at The Park. t2 captured some #bts moments, and more! Thank you, Debashis Roy (camera & edit), Chandan Saha (camera) and Tuhin Chatterjee (asst. cameraman). @makeup_abhijithchanda @thepark_kol @bobocalcutta @cup_o_t @hairstylist_abhijitdas

Hey Jude don’t be afraid. You were made to go out and get her. The minute you let her under your skin, Then you begin to make it better… This is what Jadavpur did for me , and for many before me and hopefully for many after too. Becoming a part of JUDE, of JU, at 18, gave me the wings I hadn’t yet realized I needed. JU taught me freedom, JU taught me individuality, JU taught me diversity. JU taught me that revolution and peace go hand in hand, rage and healing too. Our professors redefined Authority and made it look better than it ever had before. Infact they rejected it. They believed in teaching us in a way that we had no choice but to be thrilled about attending classes. There was no attendance requirement, still isn’t. There was much more “dada” and “didi” than sir and maam. We often bunked classes, but we never bunked university. Three years of my life, every single day, I was there. Whether I made it till the classroom or not is another story. Nobody judged us for missing classes; yet we were often left kicking ourselves in the shins for missing out on, what I soon realized, were the best lectures of my life. If that’s not Authority being sexy, I don’t know what is. To return after 16 years, to be felicitated by the institution that taught me so much, far beyond the four walls of the classrooms, is a feeling of the highest honour, that I will remember till the end of my days. Thank you JU for making me fearless. For helping me to make any sad song better, for teaching me to go out and get her, over and over again. THANK YOU @jadavpur.university
