Dr. Ujaan aka

Sean Banerjee

, who left most of his female viewers love-sick with undeniable charm, turned a year older yesterday (April 26). The handsome actor had a simple birthday at home with his family amid lockdown. He enjoyed a small cake that was specially made for the birthday boy. What made his day special was birthday wishes from friends, industry peers and fans. The actor was flooded with phone calls, messages, posts, fan-made videos and letters. It certainly left Sean overwhelmed.

The model and actor started his journey on Bengali television with the period-drama ‘Ami Sirajer Begum’, starring Pallavi Dey opposite him. He played Nawab

Siraj ud-Daulah

, Pallavi played Lutfunnisa Begum, Badshah Moitra as Mir Jafar and

Chandreyee Ghosh

essayed Ghaseti Begum’s character in the show. It was an ambitious and high-budgeted show. Though ‘Ami Sirajer Begum’ couldn’t show its magic on the TRP charts and went off-air following a number of issues faced by the production house, it made Sean a household name.

Soon after the show was over, Sean bagged the iconic character Dr. Ujaan as the channel decided to recreate the nostalgia of ‘

Ekhane Akash Neel

’ once again. Earlier, the character was played by actor Rishi Kaushik while actress Aparajita Ghosh Das played Hiya. In the newly launched show Anamika Chakraborty is playing Hiya’s character.

Well no doubt, Anamika and Sean look good as an on-screen pair. The jodi enjoys a huge fan base for their sizzling chemistry. Before stepping into the entertainment industry as an actor, Sean was popular as a model.
