Biography

Who Is Sayani Gupta?

Sayani Gupta was born in Kolkata, West Bengal, India in 1985 and is 40 years old. Credited on films since 2012, as an actor. The background, training and the roles that shaped the career.

Sayani Gupta was born on 9 October 1985 in Calcutta (now Kolkata), West Bengal, India, and grew up amidst a culturally rich environment that would later inform her nuanced performances. After completing her schooling, she pursued a formal education in acting at the prestigious Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), where she honed her craft and developed a deep appreciation for methodical character study. Her breakthrough arrived in 2012 with the feature film Second Marriage Dot Com, marking the start of a career that has been characterized by versatility and an instinct for choosing socially resonant material. Over the ensuing years, Gupta cultivated a reputation for delivering compelling supporting roles, seamlessly transitioning between mainstream commercial cinema and independent projects, thereby establishing herself as a reliable and dynamic talent in the Hindi film industry. Notable among her filmography are performances in Fan (2016), where she portrayed a memorable character alongside Shah Rukh Khan, and Jolly LLB 2 (2017), a legal satire that highlighted her comedic timing. In 2019, she garnered critical acclaim for her role in Article 15, a hard‑hitting drama addressing caste discrimination, even lending her voice to the song “Kahab To” featured in the soundtrack. Perhaps her most daring choice was the portrayal of Khanum, a blind Pakistani‑Bangladeshi lesbian activist, in Margarita with a Straw, acting opposite Kalki Koechlin and delivering a performance praised for its sensitivity and depth. Beyond acting, Gupta has contributed background vocals to the soundtrack of the popular web series Four More Shots Please, showcasing her musical abilities. Her career, active from 2011 to the present, demonstrates a consistent commitment to challenging narratives and a willingness to explore complex female perspectives, making her an influential figure in contemporary Indian cinema.
