I’m Debjani. I act in Bengali, on stage first and on screen when asked.

I grew up in Kolkata, studied at a drama school near College Street and joined a theatre company at twenty-two. I have been on stage for twenty years and in films for ten, mostly in Bengali and sometimes in Hindi and English.

Today I keep a rehearsal diary, teach monologue work to anyone who asks and play about sixty performances a year. If you come, wait by the stage door after; I always come out.
