I might've moved to Mumbai, but Bangla has my heart, always: Tuhina Das

Known for her performances in Bengali films and web series. Actress Tuhina Das, has been steadily making her mark in the Hindi industry as well. The

Ghawre Bairey Aaj

actress shifted base to Mumbai a couple of years ago.

In this freewheeling chat, the actor opens up about her latest project, working across industries, and the thrill of experimenting with new genres.

Can you tell us more about your new project? What drew you to this role and story?

I was in conversation for a while over multiple roles. And when

Chhal Kapat – The Deception

came along, we felt this was the right one for me. It was different, and given my weakness for murder mysteries in personal life as well, I decided to take the plunge.

How has your experience been working in Mumbai compared to the Bengali film industry?

There isn’t as much of a difference as you might think.

It’s been two years here now, and this was my third project in Hindi. The most striking dissimilarity is the pace at which the city operates. Things are well-planned, and great care is taken during post-production. That pace was something I had to get used to.

Are you planning to continue working in Bengali films alongside your projects in Mumbai?

Yes, of course! I have shifted my base here, but Bangla has my heart, so I’m just as open to working in Bengali films as I always was.

What are some challenges you’ve faced while transitioning between different film industries?

Primarily the language — but that was addressed through extensive workshops.

Also, the way actors prepare for roles here is different. It’s more intense and structured, which has been a learning curve for me.

Can fans expect to see you experimenting with new genres or roles in the near future?

Yes! A role very close to my heart is about to be released, and it’s something very different—I actually did my own stunts in it.

What’s your biggest takeaway or learning from working on your latest project?

That you can’t really trust anyone

(laughs)

. I meant that in terms of the story! But work-wise, it was a great team, and we had a lot of fun while making it.
