Career

edit

Roy made her first television appearance in ETV Bangla's (Colors Bangla) Bengali serial Kotha Dilam (2014) playing the lead role of Sudha. She then played the lead role of Meghla opposite Vikram Chatterjee in Star Jalsha's TV serial Ichche Nodee (2015) which was well received by the audience.[5] The success of the show turned her into a household name. She also appeared on the Zee Bangla serial Saat Bhai Champa[6] and the Star Jalsha serial Phagun Bou.[7] She played the role of Dr. Kadambini Ganguly aka Bini in Star Jalsha's period drama Prothoma Kadambini[8][9] opposite Honey Bafna. The series was based on the biography of Bengal's first practicing female physician Kadambini Ganguly.[10][11]

She played Khori Singha Roy in the Bengali drama Gaatchora. Her chemistry with Gourab Chatterjee in the show was popular among the audience.[12][13] Gaatchora is popular among viewers and consistently tops the TRP charts. The show's success was attributed to her portrayal of a headstrong independent young girl and her onscreen sizzling chemistry with Gourab Chatterjee, who played Riddhiman Singha Roy.[14][15] The show and her character received the highest number of awards at the Star Jalsha Parivaar Awards 2022.[16][17] It was one of the most popular Bengali serials on Star Jalsha during its airing. Her look in the show produced a new fashion trend for women in Bengal called the "Khori Look".[18] She later exited the show on account of health problems.[19]

In addition to television shows, she has also worked in Bengali web series like Dhanbad Blues,[20][21] Paap and Montu Pilot.[22]

Roy debuted in Bengali films with Baba Baby O (2022) opposite Jishu Sengupta, which opened to a good response.[23] She then appeared in the coming of age drama Shohorer Ushnotomo Din E (2023). The film revolves around the lives of Anindita and Ritoban who is a PhD student in London who makes a return to Calcutta after three years and runs into Anindita, who was his college sweetheart and is now a successful RJ.[24] The film received a positive response upon release.[25][26] Shamayita Chakraborty from OTT Play praised the freshness of the plot saying, "The overall performance is charming. Watch it for Vikram and Solanki’s sizzling chemistry, very different expressions of love, and the idea of Kolkata that gives us warmth."[27]
