With her period flick Yoddha release round the corner during Puja days, 'Proloy' crusader Mimi Chakraborty today turned the demon slayer, one of the nine faces of the Goddess. .
"Ever since the childhood days I had been intrigued by the look of Durga, Now I get to enact the Devi to symbolically kill the demon within and around us, Every woman's dream," the cult Bengali serial 'Gaaner Oparey' sensation told PTI. Mimi would portray 'Char Roop' of the Goddess, projected in various phases of the battle with Mahisasura in nine days in the FFACE of DURGA concept shoot themed on Women's Empowerment.
"This is an important issue considering the attacks and abuse of women in society though we worship Stree-Shakti. Durga embodies Stree-Shakti and we have the power to conquer evils. I feel the changes within as I pose with the trident before camera wearing those period costumes," Mimi said.
Fashion designer-writer-artiste-socialite Indroneel Mukherjee, busy with shooting Mili and three other young women, said, "Mimi being an upcoming actress with strong personality and mobile face was our right choice for the traditional yet contemporary look of Durga, who resides within every modern woman."
We have draped her with jardousi, sarees in dark bright colour, having beads in fringe complemented with kundan, Indroneel said.
The pictures, a unique initiative, will be available in the form of Greeting Card and images on www.365oranges.Com, a portal catering to lifestyle.
