Rohit Dey
Rohit Dey popped into the world on December 29th, 1997, right in the thick of Kolkata’s chaos—his mom’s a psychologist, dad clocked hours as a government dude. Growing up, he sucked up the city’s colors and madness, the whole “City of Joy” thing not just a travel brochure for him but straight-up reality. School days and college years at Calcutta University (he grabbed that English Lit & Language Hons. degree in 2019, no biggie) were less about grades and more about the kind of friends who end up shaping your whole trajectory. Those friendships? Yeah, they nudged him hard down the writer’s path.
Rohit got his hands dirty in Kolkata’s theatre circuit, working with some of the city’s big-name troupes. But theater was just the warm-up. The real game started when he landed a gig as social media manager for the indie film ‘Rainbow Jelly’—which, honestly, got people talking. That taste of the film world? Hooked him. Next thing, he’s running around as assistant director on Bengali films and TV projects, juggling tasks like a pro. Along the way, he starts slipping stories, screenplays, and dialogues into the mix, making himself a regular in the Bengali film scene. Dude’s not just in the credits—he’s shaping the stories people watch.
