Early life

Rituparna was interested in the arts since a young age and learned painting, dancing, singing and handicrafts at a painting school, called Chitrangshu. She studied at Mount Carmel school, and later graduated in History from Lady Brabourne College. She began studying Modern History for an M.A. at University of Calcutta, but had to interrupt studies to concentrate on her career as an actress.[5]

Her first film was Shwet Patharer Thala with Aparna Sen who played her mother-in-law.[5] in Her Hindi debut was N N Sippy's Teesra Kaun directed by Parto Ghosh.[5] Hema Malini picked her for a negative supporting role in Zee's home-production Mohini, starring Madhu and Sudesh Berry.[5] In 2013, she will be making her Malayalam debut with Sohanlal's Kadhaveedu.[6]

She had named her favourite Bengali films – Sujan Sakhi, Shami Keno Ashami, Moner Manush, Adorer Bon—directed by the quickie-hit-maker Swapan Saha, Aami Sei Meye directed by Prasenjeet, Sansar Sangram directed by Chiranjeet.[5]

Canadian airport harassment

In July 2013, Sengupta was entering Canada for a festival to showcase her new film, Mukti Dir Reshmi, when she was allegedly stopped by immigration officials, who harassed her for over 6 hours.
