Chandrani Das — Actress | Model

My Story

Where It All Began

I was born on the 20th of May in West Bengal, where the evenings smell of jasmine and old stories. From the very beginning, I was the girl who sat glued to the television, watching actresses inhabit characters with such truth that I would forget where the performance ended and where life began. I did not just want to watch those stories. I wanted to live them.

Education gave me discipline. But it was the stage, the camera, and the world of characters that gave me my truest identity. I have always believed that if you want something badly enough, you find a way — not a shortcut, but a way paved with sweat and sincerity.

The Path I Chose

The First Frame

I stepped in front of the camera for the first time in 2011, nervous and full of fire. I had no godfather in the industry, no connections, no shortcuts. What I had was hunger — a deep, quiet hunger to prove that a girl from West Bengal could tell stories the world would feel.

Languages of the Heart

Bengali is my mother tongue — the language I think in, dream in, feel in. But art has no borders. I have learned Odia, embraced Punjabi rhythms, and found my voice in Hindi. Every new language was not a challenge — it was a gift. A new door. A new dimension of myself.

Maya Entertainment

I named my production house Maya Entertainment after my mother, Maya Das. Because everything I am, I owe to her. Through Maya Entertainment, I am not just acting in stories — I am building them.

Ranii Sharee

Beyond cinema, I created Ranii Sharee — a fashion venture celebrating the elegance of Indian women. Through Ranii Sharee, I wanted every woman to feel like a queen in her own story.

“Acting is behaviour in the truest sense. I act on screen the same way I fulfil my different roles in real life. When someone behaves like a character in the best way possible — that is what makes an artist perfect.”

— Chandrani Das

My Films & Stories

My heart has always belonged to Bengali cinema — the language closest to my heartbeat, the soil where my love for storytelling first took root. Anannya Saradiya (2022) reminded me why I fell in love with this craft in the first place. Road to Death plunged me into territory I had never explored before — raw, relentless, and deeply cinematic.

Stepping into Odia cinema with Tandav (2021) was one of the most humbling experiences of my career. I did not know Odia when I was cast. So I learned it. Word by word, inflection by inflection — because to me, there has never been a role not worth mastering completely.

My Dear Sir (2022) is a full-fledged commercial film that brought me the kind of role I had been quietly preparing for across years of craft. Mumbai opened its doors, and I walked in with my Kolkata roots firmly planted beneath me.

And then there was Chhabi Rani — the role that stayed with me for months after the cameras stopped rolling. That film brought me an international award for Best Performance, but more than any trophy, it gave me the quiet certainty that I was exactly where I was meant to be. Along the way I also appeared on Swayamvar: Mika Di Vohti on Star Bharat — a different kind of stage, unscripted and entirely in the moment.

My Belief

On the Art of Acting

I have always believed there is no word called shortcut in this profession. I chose the harder road — the one where you study, struggle, and show up every single day. And slowly, steadily, that road brought me here.

“There is no word called shortcut in the profession of acting. Only your dedication and hard work can make you a star — what all of us long for. Success will be late, but it will surely knock at your doorstep.”

— Chandrani Das

My Production House

Maya Entertainment

I registered Maya Entertainment not as a business decision — but as an act of love. Named after my mother Maya Das, this production house is my promise to her and to the art that raised me.

Stories That Matter

I seek out characters and narratives that the world has not yet seen — from the by-lanes of Kolkata to the studios of Mumbai.

Beyond Borders

Bengali, Odia, Punjabi, Hindi — I have always believed the best stories carry no language barrier. They only carry truth.

Women at the Centre

Every project under Maya Entertainment puts complex, real, powerful women at the heart of the story.
