Puja Banerjee
Puja Banerjee, sometimes rolling by Pooja Bose, is one of those faces you see everywhere if you’ve ever channel-surfed Indian TV. She kicked off her acting antics at just 15, popping up in Escape from Taliban back in 2003, which, let’s be real, isn’t your average teenage gig. Fast forward a few years—by 2008 she was all over the place, snagging roles in Kahaani Hamaaray Mahaabhaarat Ki and Tujh Sang Preet Lagai Sajna. She’s done everything from mythological dramas like Devon Ke Dev... Mahadev to cracking up audiences on Comedy Nights with Kapil and Comedy Nights Bachao.
If reality TV’s more your speed, yeah, she’s done that too—Bigg Boss Bangla, Khatron Ke Khiladi, Khatra Khatra Khatra. The woman’s got range. And she’s not stuck to just one language; she’s popped up in Bengali flicks like Macho Mustanaa, Loveria, and Hoichoi Unlimited, and even slid into Bollywood with Rajdhani Express, Ramaiya Vastavaiya, and Great Grand Masti. Oh, and don’t miss her grooving in that wild ‘Ban Dance mei Kutta’ number in 3 Dev.
Awards? Snagged Best Actress at the 10th Boroplus Gold Awards in 2017. She’s still at it, showing up in web series like Anupama: Namaste America. Off-screen, she’s married to Kunal Verma and has a son, Krishiv. Basically, she’s never really off your screens—whether it’s TV, movies, reality shows, or a random web series drop.
