This is how Dibyendu Bhattacharya overcame the initial work from home challenge

MUMBAI: Actor Dibyendu Bhattacharya's performance has been par excellence in his last projects. Be it Lal Bazaar or Undekhi, Dibyendu's performance is loved. While the shooting for both the shows happened outdoors, the promotion of Undekhi happened after the lockdown started. The actor reveals how his friends came to his rescue when he was facing trouble adjusting to the work from home lifestyle.

"After Lal Bazaar, undekhi released and the promotion happened while I was at home. I had to do all the promotional work for both the projects from home. Sometimes we had to do promotional video. There was hardcore shooting in the house for almost 2-3 months and is work is still going on. I was struggling a lot with poor indoor lighting, setting up the correct kind of background, ensuring that no part of the face was appearing dim in video interviews. This was all very new for me and I didn't know how to give the right kind of shot for promotion or interview," explains Dibyendu, whose recent mini series Gone Game is shot entirely inside his house.

The multi talented actor reveals that it was his close friend Rahul Gupta, owner of the well known Cine Equipment, and his family who offered help.

"Rahul Gupta and his family are very close to us. They are like our extended family and stay in the same building. His wife Ameeta is my wife Richa are best of friends. Rahul and his father were into film production earlier, and his son Nikhil is an aspiring cinematographer. So, they understand the production requirements. One of the days, I told them the problem I was facing and they immediately arranged equipment for me. From a self kino bulb, tube, ring light to a colour changing tube, they arranged everything and it suddenly became so easier for me. I am so grateful to them and blessed to have a family like them whose support was so selfless and generous. A lot of people don't get this kind of facility and I feel so blessed. There is support of so many people behind a man's success. Even my wife Richa, son Shaurya and daughter Norah become a team when I start working," he says.
