Sandhyarani Chatterjee (widely known as Sandhyarani) was an Indian actress who is known for her work in Bengali cinema.[4] She was a reigning actress of Bengali cinema during 1940s and 1950s.[5] She appeared in more than 250 Bengali films.[6] She made her silver screen debut in Sarbojanin Bibahotsab (26 April 1938).[7] She featured opposite Uttam Kumar in Ajoy Kar's Bardidi (1957).[8] Even after she played supporting characters later, her popularity remained intact.[9]

Career

In 1948, Sandhyarani featured as Gyanoda in Arakshaniya based on Sarat Chandra Chatterjee's much celebrated novel of the same name.[10] Ajoy Bhattacharya cast her in his Bengali comedy film Chhadmabeshi (1944)[a] based on the story of the same name by Upendranath Gangopadhyay. [11][12] Suchitra Sen eschewed the central role in Suryamukhi, Sandhyarani was offered to play the concerned role.[13]
