Bipasha has shed her tank tops, her tight tees and jeans and settled for a more demure look. At her first interaction with the media for Rituparno Ghosh's Sab Charitro Kalpanik, the actress was clad in a saree, with a bindi on her forehead and lots of chunky jewellery. Apparently, even her father received the shock of his life when he saw his daughter dressed like this.

Of course, Bipasha's saree-look fits in perfectly with her character in Ghosh's latest film, which is about a NRI Bengali who comes to Kolkata in search of her roots. The actress's co-stars in the film include Prasenjit, Jishu Sengupta, Sohag Sen and Pauli Dam. Bipasha says that she can totally identify with her character Radhika completely. Radhika comes back to Kolkata after the death of her husband and uses his poems to connect and find herself. Joy Goswami has written the poems especially for the film. The actress's Bengali is rusty as she hardly gets a chance to speak Bengali in Mumbai, unless she is with her parents. Ghosh admits that there a few syntactical errors in her diction but he overlooks them as he feels that it goes with her character.
