diga Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 The BBC on Rituparno Ghosh. "Rituparno Ghosh loved dressing as a woman - his sexuality made him stand out from the crowd in largely conservative India. Initially he wore men's clothes, but in the last few years he completely switched over to women's dresses. Film analysts say that through his films, writings and acting roles, Mr Ghosh gave a voice to disempowered sexual minorities. Though mocked by many, he lived life on his own terms and never shied from taking up verbal fights with those who mocked him. In an industry where women often complain about the sexism of the "casting couch", actresses often spoke about how "safe" and "comfortable" they felt with him. An extremely well-read and socially active man, Mr Ghosh was popular on social media too."
