Rachna Banerjee (born Jhumjhum Banerjee;[2] 2 October 1974[3][4] also known as Rachana, is an Indian actress, entrepreneur and television presenter. She is known primarily for her works in Bengali and Odia films, besides a few Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada films.[5] Being crowned the 1991 Miss Kolkata, she has also won five beauty contests in India including Miss Beautiful Smile at the Miss India contest.[6]
Early life
Banerjee was born in Calcutta (now Kolkata), West Bengal, India, and was her parents' only child. Her father was Rabindranath Banerjee.[7] Her original name was Jhumjhum Banerjee,[8] and was changed to Rachana by Sukhen Das, the director of her debut film Daan Pratidaan (1993).
Career
Banerjee won the Miss Kolkata contest in 1991 when she was still in her second year of graduation course from South City College. She entered several beauty pageants before starting her acting career and was often declared 'Miss Beautiful Smile'. In 1994 she missed out of the Miss India contest grand finale where Madhu Sapre was crowned the title. Banerjee's breakthrough role was with director Sukhen Das who changed her name to Rachana (which Das found in 'Rabindra Rachanabali'). Her biggest success in film career comes when she played the female lead opposite Siddhant Mahapatra in about 40 movies. She appeared alongside Amitabh Bachchan in the film Sooryavansham, one of the cult movies of its era.[9] She has appeared in 35 Bengali films with Bengali filmstar Prosenjit Chatterjee.[citation needed]
Hosting Didi No. 1
Apart from acting, Banerjee is also hosting the popular Bengali non-fiction TV show, Didi No. 1, which is aired on Zee Bangla on weekdays. On 5 April 2013 a fire broke out in the studio of Didi No. 1 at Tollygunge, and she fainted following a panic attack and was rushed to a city hospital (Aurobindo Seva Sadan) immediately.[10]
Personal life
She married Probal Basu in 2007 and separated from him in 2016. They have a son.[11]
