Nayna Bandyopadhyay is an Indian actress and politician who is known for her work in Bengali cinema.[7][8] She is the MLA of the Chowrangee Assembly constituency since 2014, as an All India Trinamool Congress candidate.[5][9] She was the MLA of the Bowbazar Assembly constituency since 2001 till 2006, as a candidate from the same political party.[5]

When she was in tenth grade, she made her debut opposite Prosenjit Chatterjee in Tarun Majumdar's Pathbhola (1986).[10][11] She subsequently appeared in Bengali films such as Surer Akashe (1988), Aamar Tumi (1989), Tufan (1989), Anurag (1990), Akanksha (1991), Pati Param Guru (1991), Shaitan (1992). She rose to wider fame and popularity for her role in Sinthir Sindur (1996), opposite Tapas Paul.[12][1] Her political career hit the crux when she defeated Somen Mitra in the 2016 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election.[13]

Acting career

Bandyopadhyay made her debut opposite Prosenjit Chatterjee in Tarun Majumdar's Pathbhola (1986) when she was in tenth grade.[14][15] She had a starring role in the 1989 blockbuster film Tufan, directed by Biresh Chatterjee.[16] She featured in Raja Sen's Desh (2002).[17] It also features Jaya Bachchan and Sabyasachi Chakraborty.

Political career

She was a member of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly from Bowbazar Assembly constituency since 2001 till 2006, as a candidate from the same political party.[18] In 2004, she was suspended as she made a comment in opposition to Mamata Banerjee.[19] She defeated her strong Congress contender Somen Mitra in the 2016 West Bengal Legislative Assembly election.[20] In April 2023, Bandyopadhyay was seen sharing conversation with the West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee. Reportedly, she attempted to touch the feet of the CM, but the latter disapproved her in doing so.[21] The former then burst into tears.[22][23] It was rumoured that she was denounced by the CM as the latter believed that her performance was not satisfactory.[24] Bandyopadhyay later uploaded a photo of a letter witten by the CM, on her official Facebook page.[25][26] The letter was then made into giant hoardings.
