Quotes

Jisshu Sengupta

Bengali actor and owner of the Lake Gardens home

“Everything you can see here, from the chairs to the paintings to the knick-knacks on the table, all of them have been gifted by Ritu da. I lost my mother in 2008, and since then Ritu da has been a guardian to Nilaanjana and me. But what pains me the most is that he could not see this house before passing away. This is his corner, technically.”

“This is a place where I actually chill. I spend most of the day in this room. From reading scripts to taking meetings, I do all my work here. Especially when I’m alone, no one disturbs me — which is the best part of this room.”
