With her father hailing from theatre, Sreelekha said that the passion of acting got imbibed in her spirit early on. Being a single mother, a columnist, and a social and animal activist, Sreelekha Mitra radiates incredible compassion and strength. Not one to mince her words, she recently spoke about the perpetual issues of nepotism and lobbying in the regional film industries and how many deserving actors are thwarted from getting their dues. Her YouTube channel ‘Aami Sreelekha’ is very much loved by her fans where she comfortably talks about the subjects she feels passionate about in a candid light, occasionally conducting live sessions to connect with her fans.
Sreelekha has always aspired to take up roles that challenge her as an actor, and also give her audiences the chance of experiencing new aspects to her performances. She featured in Dhimaner Dinkaal, ALT Balaji’s first Bangla web-series essaying one of the main leads, where she was appreciated for her performance. After doing a few Hindi film projects sparsely over the years, she’s now looking forward to working in Hindi cinema and OTT projects where she can take on new, adventurous roles.
