Rituparna turns photographer with Bas Ek Tamanna. The actor who was shooting for the film at Lucknow was so taken in by the beauty of the city that she picked up her camera and turned shutterbug shooting myriad moods of the city.

What is interesting is that director Rahul Kapoor and producer Subhan Aziz were elated to see that some of the locales she captured could actually be used for the shoot.

Says producer Subhan Aziz, "I was so taken in by a haveli Ritu shot that I felt that we should shoot there. We tried coaxing the owner, but he would not relent.

Finally, when we explained to him how the photographer in Ritu discovered his haveli, he simply loved the pictures. And Ritu was gracious enough to gift him a frame." Now, that is one side of the talented actress we didn't know!
