Career
Before starting her acting career, Koena Mitra had appeared in the music videos of the songs such as Stereo Nation’s Ishq, Aaj Ki Raat, Akh Teri, and Channo by Jasbir Jassi.
She made her first Bollywood appearance in the film “Road” (2002), in which she appeared in the song “Khullam Khulla.” Her Bollywood debut as an actor was with Sanjay Gupta’s “Musafir” (2004), in which she played the role of ‘Lara.’
After that, she appeared in few more Bollywood films such as Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena, Insan, Apna Sapna Money Money, and Anamika among others. Except for Musafir, all her films failed at the box-office and she failed to find any roles for herself in Bollywood.
Hence, she turned towards the South Indian film industry and made her Tamil film debut through the film titled Asal in 2010. She played a supporting role in the film. She was out of the scheme of things for few years after that and returned to the silver screen 5 years later with a Bengali film titled Besh Korechi Prem Korechi. In 2019, she participated in the reality show Bigg Boss season 13.
