Sudipta Chakraborty

Sudipta Chakraborty won the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress for Rituparno Ghosh’s Bariwali, her performance as the slum-born maidservant Maloti cited for its zest for life. She has since worked with Buddhadeb Dasgupta, Aparna Sen and Atanu Ghosh, building a career largely outside the star system.
