I have cut down on smoking in the past few weeks: Bidipta Chakraborty

The lockdown proved to be a blessing for actress Bidipta Chakraborty, who turned a

year younger

on June 12. The actress explained, “Every year, I make a

resolution

on my birthday to quit smoking, but I fail. In the past 87 days, when I was at home due to lockdown, I consciously had cut down on smoking. I realised that I was fitter and my singing capability increased a lot. Other than spending time with my daughters, this lockdown helped me get rid of my bad habit too. Previously, I never had the tenacity to sing for hours but now I can. I hope I can keep this up and that’s my birthday resolution this year. Yesterday, my family organised a cake to ring in my birthday. Today, I will have prawn curry for lunch and

mutton kosha

for dinner.”
Bipidta will start shooting from Saturday. “Dubbing of Indradeep Dasgupta’s film,

Bismillah

, is left. I guess, we will start that soon,” said the actress.
