rediff.com: Meet the seductive Nandana Sen

Strangely, from Seducing Maarya (2002), to Strangers (2007) and now Rang Rasiya, the 'enchantress-seductress' seems to be Sen's preferred role. But the one she enjoyed essaying the most is her latest, simply because it has been the most challenging. "Sugandha's journey is especially complex -- we see her go from a petulant child to a girl in love, to a passionate muse to a woman betrayed."

Rang Rasiya has a few scenes for which she had to expose. "Because the film deals with art censorship and moral policing, there's a sensitive scene that forms the backbone of the story," says Sen. "By the time I shot for it I was absolutely comfortable, but it was not an easy decision to make. I thought about it a great deal and discussed it with my family. Everyone agreed it was absolutely central to the story and not exploitative in any way."
