THE THIRD SEX
Rituparno Ghosh on the explorations of the third sex through Chapal Bhaduri, Roop and... Rituparno

http://www.telegraphindia.com/1091005/jsp/entertainment/story_11573779.jsp

The camera is ready. The stage is set. Kaushik Ganguly, the director of Aarekti Premer Golpo, has sent a crew member to fetch his film's "heroine", Rituparno Ghosh, from the vanity van. "Just wait and watch. Rituda will walk in like Rekha!" Kaushik smiles.

Wearing a bun and a girlie fringe framing his face, Rituparno strolls into the sets of Aarekti Premer Golpo in soft, measured steps, with the poise and fragility of a shy woman being followed by a dozen male eyes. He is dressed as a young Chapal Bhaduri, the jatra artiste known for playing female roles. Hours before, he was parading the sets as Roop, the gay filmmaker and protagonist of Aarekti Premer Golpo, in jeans, kurta, kohl-lined eyes and manicured nails.
