                  Getting under the skin of the character can sometimes cause a lot of trauma. That is precisely what the light-eyed Rituparna Sen Gupta realised recently, while shooting for Karan Razadan's Mittal V / S Mittal.

           Playing a marital rape victim in the film, Rituparna got so involved with her character that she felt it was really happening to her. After shooting the marital rape sequence, she not only burst into cold sweat, but continued to shiver for days after that.

            "It was terrifying, " admits Rituparna, "I kept seeing the sequence in my sleep for days and used to wake up startled. "

              Such dedication is really impressive. We wonder, after all this, why hasn't Rituprna got very far in her career in Bollywood...
