Director Aparna Sen has always been proactive in spreading awareness among the people. And when the world is battling with the Coronavirus, the director took to her official Twitter handle and asked people to stay safe in this difficult time.
“The Corona Virus has taught us one thing: in the face of impending death all human beings are equal. I fervently hope that if and when this is behind us, we don't go back to our divisive politics. Let us concentrate instead on building up our collapsed economy!” she tweeted.

Meanwhile, Aparna Sen’s last film Ghawre Bairey Aaj was appreciated by everyone. The film has been screened at many prestigious international and national film festivals. The film stars Jisshu Sengupta, Tuhina Das and Anirban Bhattacharya. The film talks about the current socio-political situation of the nation.
The original novel was set in pre-independent India in the time of Bengal’s partition but Aparna Sen has shifted the story to the current time. The story has three central characters Nikhilesh, his wife Bimala and his revolutionist friend Sandip. Sandip has a contradictory nature compared to Nikhilesh, he is more radical and active and Bimala gets easily attracted towards him for this. It leads to an extramarital love triangle.
