Career

In 1991, Banerjee won the Miss Kolkata contest while still in her second year of college at South City College. She had been participating in various beauty pageants and often won the title of ‘Miss Beautiful Smile’. However, she missed out on the grand finale of the Miss India contest in 1994, where Madhu Sapre was crowned the winner.

Banerjee’s acting career started with director Sukhen Das, who renamed her Rachana, inspired by ‘Rabindra Rachanabali’. Her significant breakthrough came when she starred opposite Siddhant Mahapatra in around 40 movies. Among her notable works is her role alongside Amitabh Bachchan in the film Sooryavansham, which gained cult status.

Throughout her career, she has appeared in 35 Bengali films, often working with her favorite actor Prosenjit Chatterjee. In addition to acting, Banerjee also hosts the popular Bengali non-fiction TV show, Didi No. 1, which airs on Zee Bangla during weekdays.

However, there was an unfortunate incident on 5 April 2013 when a fire broke out in the studio where Didi No. 1 was filmed. Banerjee experienced a panic attack and fainted, requiring immediate medical attention at a city hospital (Aurobindo Seva Sadan).
