Did you know Jaya Ahsan was a journalist before starting out as an actor?

Leave alone Dhaka, Jaya Ahsan has been giving sleepless nights to heroines here in Tollywood as well. She has worked with almost all the celebrated directors such as including Kaushik Ganguly, Srijit Mukherjee, Arindam Sil, Atanu Ghosh, Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy, Indranil Roychoudhury, Birsa Dasgupta and Soukarya Ghosal, among others.
Jaya has always carefully opted for movies, which deliver strong messages. But only a few people know the fact that before starting out as an actor, Jaya used to be a top-notch journalist at a Bangladeshi daily Bhorer Kagoj.
On her filmy career, the tag of a superstar rests lightly on the Bangladeshi actor’s shoulders. The four-time Bangladeshi National Award-winning actor whose first film opposite Prosenjit Chatterjee, ‘Robibaar’, received critical acclaim wants to be identified as an artiste instead of a star.
On the work front, she will next be seen in Soukarya Ghosal’s ‘Bhoot Pori’, Shieladitya Moulik's 'chheledhora' and Atanu Ghosh’s ‘Binisutoy’.
