Born in 1933 in Myanmar (erstwhile Burma), Supriya made her debut in ‘Basu Paribar’. A broken marriage and her single mother status didn’t pose as hurdles when she returned to become the ‘Sophia Loren of Bengal’.

In Hindi cinema, she acted opposite Dharmendra in ‘Begaana’ and ‘Aap Ki Parchaiyan’ and Kishore Kumar’s ‘Door Gagan Ki Chhayon Mein’. In 1960, Ghatak cast her in ‘Meghe Dhaka Tara’ as Neeta — a character which became a subject of international discourse and later inspired Mira Nair to cast her in ‘The Namesake’.
