Mita Said No To The Shameless

Actress Shares Experience Of Film That Was Lauded At Cannes Fest

Though she said he was a marvellous person too and would probably make a great film, actress Mita Vashisht made it clear to Bulgarian director Konstantin Bojanov that she would not be a part of the film The Shameless, recently screened at Cannes, as what he was talking about her role (of a grandmother) could be found nowhere in the script.

“He had not even given a name to the character. Stressing that I must do the film and come to Nepal, which I did — going straight from the airport to his place and discussing the role for four hours, he did make the changes I suggested. (Konstantin) Bojanov was extremely receptive and understood that for me it was important that the character be more nuanced and layered,” Mita told IANS from France.

The film that earned actor Anasuya Sengupta the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival, a first for any Indian, revolves around the circumstances when, after killing a cop in a Delhi brothel, Renuka takes refuge in a northern Indian community of sex workers. There, she begins a forbidden romance with the 17-year-old Devika. Against all odds, they try to forge their path to freedom.

Mita said what she contributed was derived from her lived experience as an Indian. While being a European, Konstantin conceived the kitchen as a space of bondage; for the woman of the house in India, who controls it, it is a power centre.
