Raima Sen to play a housemaid

Raima Sen will be seen playing a housemaid in Aparna Sen’s next movie Japanese Wife.

Before beginning to shoot for her movie, Aparna Sen held workshops in which all the movie’s actors rehearsed their parts. Raima Sen was in a bit of a fix because she plays a housemaid in the film.

Raima, daughter of Bengali actress Moon Moon Sen, has never done household chores in her life. But she had to learn them for her role of a rural girl working as a housemaid in Japanese Wife.

It was then Aparna Sen’s daughter Konkona Sen Sharma, who is also a very good friend of Raima, came to her rescue. Konkona advised Raima to observe her housemaid. So everyday, Raima would drive to Konkona’s house and sit and acutely observe Konkona’s housemaid at work. Sometimes, Raima would even help the maid.

Within a week or so, Raima learnt how to use the broom, how to mop the floor and how to do dusting and other sundry household chores.

Apparently, Raima’s training showed in workshops and the movie’s director Aparna Sen was reportedly satisfied with Raima’s grasp of her character.

Japanese Wife has Rahul Bose and a Japanese actress, Chigasu Takaku, in lead roles. The film will reportedly be made in three languages. The movie’s shooting recently began in Japan and will continue till June.
