Now it is big production houses coming in. And when I was working, it was very personalised. So there were more pinch-me moments that happened. My director was also a popular Bengali director. I was more in awe of what was happening because there were mostly established actors. Regarding any nervousness, you feel nervous when you know what’s happening! Were you nervous? How many retakes did you take? Just whatever the people around me guided me at that point, I went ahead with it. A basic creative inclination was definitely there, but apart from that, I really had no idea what was happening. The only thing that I knew was dance because that has always been my passion and in Calcutta, a lot of Tagore dance, drama, and all of that happens in schools. I really didn’t know what was happening because I don’t come from a family of actors. I don’t have much memory because I was around 19 then. What do you remember of your first day on set? Now when I look at my work, I was so bad. I was on the cover of this very famous magazine four to five times and that’s how I got picked up. It was a combination of the title and print work that I had done. I did not get the role only because of the title. From there, a lot of modelling projects happened. I participated in Miss Calcutta and I was a runner-up.

There was a series of love stories which were called Shudhu Tomari Jonyo on ETV Bangla.
My first acting project was telefilm Shudho Tomari Jonno. What was your first acting project? How did the project come to you?
