Working across different languages gave her opportunities to explore a range of roles and develop experience in film production environments.

Although she initially worked in cinema, television subsequently became the main platform through which she established her public identity.

Television Debut: Mayavi

Bonnerjee’s early television work included the Tamil series Mayavi, in which she appeared in a role reported as Shakthi.

The programme introduced her to television audiences and helped her gain experience in a different format from feature films.

Her subsequent work in television included appearances in drama series and reality programmes. However, her major breakthrough came when she was cast in the mythological television series Ramayan.

Ramayan (2008–2009)
