Sohini Sengupta

Sohini Sengupta’s career? Oh, you wanna talk about someone who’s been absolutely killing it in Bengali cinema lately—yeah, that’s her. She’s got that kinda screen presence where, even if she’s not in a scene for long, you remember her. Let’s start with "Abhijaan" (2022). That film? A whole love letter to old-school Bengali cinema, and Sohini slides right in like she’s always belonged there. It’s about Soumitra Chatterjee’s life, but honestly, without Sohini’s nuanced performance, some bits would’ve felt flat. She’s not flashy—but she doesn’t have to be. She nails those emotional beats, like she’s lived every second. Then there’s "Aay Khuku Aay" (2022). Man, this one tugs at your heartstrings. The film dives into father-daughter dynamics—super relatable, messy, all the real-life stuff people don’t wanna talk about at family dinners. Sohini plays these layered roles where she’s not just a side character; she’s the glue holding the whole atmosphere together. There’s vulnerability, but also this quiet strength. Not everyone can do that without being melodramatic, but Sohini? She just gets it. Now, "Babli" (2024)—newer flick, but already making some noise. The film puts a sharp lens on women’s lives in contemporary Bengal. It’s got that edge, you know? Sohini’s character is complex, dealing with all sorts of societal nonsense, but she never turns it into a pity party. Instead, she’s got grit, a bit of fire, but also warmth. Watching her, you don’t see an actor—you see someone real, someone you might know. That’s what sets her apart.
