Jisshu Sengupta

Jisshu Sengupta, born on March 15, 1977, in Calcutta (yeah, back when it was still called Calcutta), is one of those actors you just can’t ignore if you’re into Indian cinema—especially Bengali films. He’s not just an actor, though; the guy’s also a producer, which kind of shows he’s got skin in the game, not just a pretty face on the screen. You might recognize him from some top-tier stuff like “Sita Ramam” (2022), where he didn’t exactly play it safe—his roles usually come with a punch. Or maybe you’ve caught him in “Ek Je Chhilo Raja” (2018), which, honestly, was one of those movies that stick with you, and then there’s “Zulfiqar” (2016), a wild modern spin on Shakespeare that only someone with guts would even try. What’s cool about Jisshu is how he keeps things fresh—he doesn’t just stick to one genre or language. He’s popped up in Bollywood, Tollywood, even dipped his toes in the South Indian film industry, and he never feels out of place. Off-screen, he’s been hitched to Nilanjana Sharma since 2004, and they’ve got two kids, so yeah, he’s juggling the family life with the movie madness. People who’ve worked with him say he’s grounded, super chill, and just a solid guy all around—which, let’s be honest, isn’t always the case in showbiz. Basically, Jisshu’s got that rare combo of versatility and charisma that keeps both directors and fans coming back for more.
