Kaanchi Actress, Bollywood Newcomer Mishti | Photos | Video

Now showing in cinemas in the Subhash Ghai-directed romantic film "Kaanchi: The Unbreakable". It runs for 142 minutes and features Kartik Tiwari and newcomer actress Mishti as lead characters, supported by experienced actors Mithun Chakraborty and Rishi Kapoor. She really has a fresh pretty face that is almost virginal (see photo, below)!

Her debut-film revolves around the story of a rural beauty, played by Mishti, who fights against suppression and injustice. It is also about her love story with Kartik Tiwari's character.

Who is she? The innocent-looking Mishti (see photo) was born Indrani Chakraborty in West Bengal. Before she was discovered by director Subhash Ghai, she was an English teacher in a private educational institution in Kolkata. This acclaimed director really has an eye for beauty and talent (after all, he also "discovered" the legendary Madhuri Dixit!)

Right after "Kaanchi", she is also cast in the Bengali film "Porichoi", directed by Ms. Rupali Guha that tackles the plight of Asian migrants living in Britain. In the film, she plays the role of Rimi, a desi girl who came to live with her father in the United Kingdom after being separated from him for 12 years. I expect this film to be a real heartbreaking drama. I wonder how Indian audiences would accept this.
