Jisshu Sengupta
It is difficult to make the diverse worlds of Bengali and Hindi film industries converge, but Jisshu Sengupta has successfully straddled them. Where he has shone in Bengali cinema with films like Noukadubi (2011) and Jaatishwar (2014), he has established himself in Hindi showbiz with Piku (2015), Shakuntala Devi (2020) and the recent Criminal Justice 2: Behind Closed Doors. On his 44th birthday today, the actor has announced his autobiography, Abahaman — My Journey So Far. The memoir, slated for an early 2022 release, will be penned by poet, essayist and translator Sandipan Chakraborty.
“I decided on it during the lockdown last year as I felt time is limited, and certain stories need to be told. As I complete 22 years in the entertainment business, I want to narrate my life experiences for the future crop of talent emerging from Bengal,” says the actor.
