Some Lesser Known Facts About Rima Das
She always wanted to become an actor. In an interview, she told that she was just six years old when she first acted on the stage.
After the completion of her masters, she even cleared the National Eligibility Test examination, but it was for her passion for acting and filmmaking that took her to Mumbai.
She moved to Mumbai as an acting aspirant and did some plays in her early days. One such play was an adaption of Premchandâs Godaan; staged at the Prithvi Theatre. But soon, she realized that there were fewer work opportunities in the acting field; as she was not getting any work for long. The circumstances pushed her into depression, and gradually, her interest grew in the filmmaking.
She exposed herself to filmmaking by reading articles and watching videos online. By watching and observing the films of renowned directors, she got a good idea about directing films.
Her first short film was âPrathaâ which was released in 2009.
