6 actresses and their off-screen avatars

We are used to seeing our favourite heroines act out their parts perfectly on screen. And one of the ways they make a mark on our mind as their on-screen characters are their on-screen looks. While the audience becomes used to their on-screen avatar, we conveniently forget that the person playing out the character might reveal a completely different avatar when off screen. We take a look at 6 of the biggest names of Bengali TV right now, and their off-screen personae. Be prepared to be shocked!

Ronita Das - Baha
She's one actress who needs no introduction. She's set fashion trends by just being on TV. But she's drastically different from her on-screen avatar in Ishti Kutum.

Unlike Bahamoni Soren or Baha, she likes to wear casuals in real life. Forget the elaborate bindis and body art, she stays far away from the greasepaint. At parties Ronita is mostly seen in muted colours which compliment her soft beauty. And yes, we like her more as Ronita Das.

Madhumita Sarcar - Pakhi
Looking at her meek avatar in Bojhena Se Bojhena it's difficult to believe Madhumita can be so drastically different from Pakhi.

The actress you see wearing high-neck kurtis actually loves to keep in simple and casual. She also has a bold streak in her and sometimes, can be seen, in bold avatars absolutely the opposite of Pakhi. Yes, she loves to experiment with bright shades in reality too. But the makeup? Well, anybody would agree she doesn't need it. Especially since she looks so pretty without it too!

Roosha Chatterjee - Ushoshi
Now here's one actress who has a distinct sense of style - both on screen and off it. While she's mostly seen in crisp cotton weaves on TV, she prefers comfortable tops in reality.

Also, unlike her character Ushoshi in Tomay Amay Miley, she likes to keep her hair curly and loose. And yes, you won't see her in the six yards very often. She swears by her denims and trousers. Isn't she pwetty!

Payel Dey - Durga
She literally plays one of the most divine roles on television — Durga. In fact, she's played the goddess twice in her career so far.

And some of that divinity must have brushed off on her Payel Dey surely knows how to look ethereal off screen too. When she's not shooting, she's seen attending events in classic western numbers. As far as makeup is concerned, she keeps it simple too. And when you have that long dark tresses cascading down your shoulders, you do not really need much time on hair-style. Well, we love her both ways!

Sandipta Ghosh - Nandini
So you have seen her as the docile Nandini in Tumi Ashbe Bole. She's the one who wears full sleeve salwar suits with the mangalsutra strictly in place or the most demure of saris, with the aanchal over her head.

But this young star happens to be quite unlike her on-screen avatar in reality. She actually loves to keep in her casuals and has a soft spot for comfortable tank tops. But, she can unearth the bold streak in her at the blink of an eye. Don't believe us? Check out the picture here in which she's channeling the diva in a blue ensemble. Classy, we say!

Lovely Maitra - Kaju
She's one of the youngest actresses on Bengali television at the moment. However, she's seen playing the very mature Kaju in Jol Nupur, where she is mostly seen donning crisp sarees and a very characteristic dual tone bindi.

Not surprisingly, her on-screen look consists of handloom saris in earthy tones. But in real life, Lovely is mostly seen in semi casuals. If at all you spot her at events, you might see her in elaborate jamdanis or silks. But no matter what she's wearing, she's too 'lovely'.
