Career
Year Shows / Movies / Awards Character / Role
- Chanda was one of the many films in which Jharna’s beauty and talent were recognized. When her father got her admitted into the Bulbul Lalitakala Academy, she began her career as a go-go dancer. In “Ei Desh Tomar Amar,” there was a dance sequence for which she was given a part.
- Her next major part was in the film “Rajdhanir Bukey,” in which she performed as a dancer. The public requested that Jharna be given a leading role after the song became popular. That was when she made her debut as a heroine in Harano Din, her first Bengali feature film.
- After the director Ehtesham cast Jharna in his Urdu movie Chanda, she relocated to Pakistan’s West Wing. Because Jharna’s Urdu wasn’t very good at that time, the rehearsals were scripted in Bengali. Robin Ghosh composed the music for this movie. The film became a success, launching her career in Pakistan’s film industry at the top.
