Aparna Sen, 76, just received the Icon Award at the London Indian Film Festival for her contribution to cinema. Her latest film, The Rapist, is a complex look at how a rape impacts the perpetrator, the survivor and her husband, and has been winning awards and accolades across Indian and on the international festival circuit. Over six decades, Sen has made 74 films as an actor and 16 as a director. Here, she talks to Deepa Gahlot about how the idea for her latest film came to her, and the larger purpose it serves.
