Personal life
Early life
Megha Chakraborty was born on 3 May 1991 in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Raised in the cultural hub of Kolkata, she grew up surrounded by strong Bengali traditions.[2][15] Her early education took place in Kolkata, where she attended Jodhpur Park Girls' High School and Multipurpose Government Girls' School in Alipore. She later graduated from the University of Calcutta, completing her formal studies before venturing into the performing arts.[2][16] From a young age, Chakraborty showed a keen interest in performing arts, initially aspiring to pursue a career in dance. Her exposure to vibrant Bengali media, including local theater and films, gradually sparked her curiosity in acting, though her professional entry into the field occurred somewhat unexpectedly through auditions.[17][18] At the age of 23, determined to advance her acting ambitions beyond regional opportunities, Chakraborty made the pivotal decision to relocate to Mumbai in 2014. This move laid the groundwork for her entry into the Hindi television industry.[19][18]Marriage and relationships
Megha Chakraborty confirmed her romantic relationship with actor Sahil Phull in early 2025, having first met as co-stars on the television show Kaatelal & Sons.[20] The couple announced their engagement on January 5, 2025, sharing photos from a romantic beach proposal in Goa on New Year's Day, where Phull proposed with a ring under the stars.[12][21] Chakraborty and Phull married on January 21, 2025, in an intimate ceremony held in Jammu, Phull's hometown, following traditional Hindu customs.[22][23] The bride wore an orange-hued lehenga with intricate zari work, while the groom opted for a traditional sherwani, and the couple later shared glimpses of the event, capturing moments of joy and celebration.[13][24] Following their wedding, Chakraborty and Phull have embraced married life, frequently updating fans on their shared experiences and strengthening their bond through personal milestones, including their first Holi as newlyweds in March 2025.[14] Their union has deepened their prior professional collaboration, including joint work on web series like Dil-e-Couch, while personally, they co-manage the production banner Mismanaged Company, which reflects their intertwined lives.[25][26]Career
Early career
Megha Chakraborty's professional journey in the entertainment industry commenced in 2013 with her television debut in the Bengali serial Joto Hashi Toto Ranna on Star Jalsha, where she portrayed a supporting character in this comedy-drama series.[27] This marked her initial foray into acting, following her background in dance and modeling in Kolkata. She also ventured into films early on with a role in the 2014 Bengali movie Action.[27] In 2014, Chakraborty relocated to Mumbai to explore opportunities in the larger Hindi television landscape, transitioning from regional media to national platforms.[18] This move presented initial challenges, including adapting to the fast-paced production schedules and overcoming her Bengali accent for Hindi dialogues, which required dedicated coaching to refine her diction. She began with minor roles while navigating the competitive environment of mainstream television. Her breakthrough in Hindi TV arrived in 2015 with the lead role of Reeti Biyani in the &TV series Badii Devrani, a show that aired from March to November that year and highlighted her ability to portray a spirited young woman in a family-oriented narrative.[27] This opportunity solidified her presence in national television, though she continued to face hurdles like typecasting concerns and the demands of daily soap production.[18]Breakthrough and notable roles
Following Badii Devrani, Chakraborty appeared as Niyati Bajpayee in the Zindagi series Khwaabon Ki Zamin Par (2016–2017), portraying a young woman navigating personal and professional aspirations. She then took on the historical role of Mastani in Peshwa Bajirao (2017) on Sony Entertainment Television, depicting the warrior queen in a period drama. Megha Chakraborty's major breakthrough came with her portrayal of the titular character, Dr. Krishna Dubey, in the Star Plus series Krishna Chali London (2018–2019), where she depicted a determined young woman from Kanpur aspiring to become a doctor despite societal pressures.[28][29] This role marked her first lead in a Hindi television drama and was lauded for embodying a strong, independent female protagonist navigating family expectations and personal ambitions.[30] The series highlighted themes of empowerment and resilience, earning positive reception for Chakraborty's nuanced performance as a character who challenges traditional norms.[6] Building on this success, Chakraborty took on the role of Garima "Gunnu" Ruhail Rajawat in the Sony SAB comedy-drama Kaatelal & Sons (2020–2021), playing the elder daughter in a family running a struggling salon.[31] Her character, an ambitious hairstylist fighting gender biases to pursue her dreams, allowed her to demonstrate sharp comedic timing through humorous family dynamics and entrepreneurial spirit.[32] The show's light-hearted narrative, centered on sisterly bonds and small-town aspirations, received acclaim for its relatable humor and inspirational undertones, further solidifying Chakraborty's versatility in comedic roles.[33] In 2022, Chakraborty assumed the lead role of Imlie Rathore Rana (also known as the second Imlie) in the ongoing Star Plus series Imlie, following a 20-year generation leap in the storyline.[34] This portrayal of a modern, educated woman balancing love, career, and family responsibilities resonated with audiences, particularly for its exploration of evolving relationships and female agency in a post-leap narrative.[35] Fans praised her chemistry with co-star Karan Vohra, contributing to the storyline's emotional depth and popularity during her tenure from September 2022 to September 2023.[36] For this role, she earned a nomination for the Star Parivaar Award in the Favorite Jodi category in 2023, shared with Vohra, recognizing their on-screen pairing's impact.[37] These roles signified Chakraborty's transition from her early lead in Badii Devrani and subsequent supporting appearances to more prominent and diverse leads, gaining her widespread industry recognition and a dedicated fanbase by the mid-2020s.[5][38] Her ability to anchor diverse narratives—from inspirational dramas to comedies—established her as a reliable lead actress in Indian television.[39]Recent projects and ventures
In 2024, Megha Chakraborty portrayed Vaani Tripathi in the Colors TV series Mishri, a role that showcased her ability to embody a bold and independent character, distinct from her previous performances and contributing to her growing reputation for versatility in television drama.[9] The show, which premiered on July 3, 2024, and concluded on November 10, 2024, after a four-month run, allowed Chakraborty to explore challenging dynamics in a family-oriented narrative, enhancing her experience in lead roles post-Imlie.[9] In 2025, Chakraborty joined the cast of Star Plus's Jhanak in the lead role of Ishani, part of a parallel storyline presented as the spin-off Ishani, which aired at 11 p.m. on the channel.[10] Her portrayal of the ambitious and fearless Ishani, who dreamed of becoming an IPS officer before facing life's upheavals, drew from personal connections that intensified her on-set performance; in one demanding scene, she immersed herself so deeply that she cried extensively, resulting in swollen eyes.[40] This role, starting in July 2025 following a May 2025 casting announcement, marked her continued prominence on Star Plus. The show concluded its run in October 2025.[41][42] Alongside her acting, Chakraborty co-founded the production company Mismanaged Company with Sahil Phull after their collaboration on Kaatelal & Sons, debuting with the 2021 web series Dil-E-Couch, a comedy where she also starred as Nima.[43] Her January 2025 marriage to Phull has facilitated ongoing professional partnerships through the company, with announcements in late 2025 hinting at potential expansions in web content production.[12]Filmography
