Supriya was born in 8th January, 1935 in Mayamar. Her real name was Krishna
and nickname is Benu. Her first ever appearance in film was in 'Nagpaash' directed by
Niren Lahiri, a film which never got released. Her first released film was 'Basu
Paribar' in 1952.
Even though Supriya mostly acted in lead female role in most of her
films, her work in character roles are remarkable. Her stunning
performance in the role of a Neeta, the main bread earner of a refugee
family, in the film 'Meghe Dhaka Tara' by Ritwik Ghatak created a deep
impact. Supriya acted in some Hindi films and was a regular
performer in commercial theatre. Supriya acted in the lead role
of popular television serial 'Janani'.
