Actress Antarra Banerjee has clarified that she was mistakenly identified as the accused in a case involving an alleged attack on RPF personnel with a razor blade on a train. Reports had reportedly used Antarra's photograph while referring to another woman with a similar name.
Antarra Banerjee Clarifies RPF Case Mix-Up
In a statement, Antarra’s team said, "It has come to our attention that several media publications have incorrectly used the photograph of actor Antarra Banerjee while reporting on an FIR concerning an entirely different individual."
As reported by Hindustan Times, the statement categorically clarified that Antarra was not the person against whom the FIR was registered and had 'no connection whatsoever' with the matter. Her team further stated that, after verifying the FIR, the person named in the case was Antara Soham Banerjee, a Thane-based model, and not the actress.
The statement added that the two are “entirely different individuals” and reiterated that Antarra had no involvement or connection with either the FIR or the reported incident.
Who Is Antara Banerjee?
Antarra Banerjee has appeared in several television shows, films and web series. She played a journalist in filmmaker Lom Harsh’s Yeh Hai India.
She has also appeared in Ektaa Kapoors Kasautii Zindagii Kay, which starred Erica Fernandes and Parth Samthaan. She reportedly exited the show in 2019.
Banerjee later appeared in crime and anthology shows, including Savdhaan India, Laal Ishq and Gumrah: End of Innocence. Her film debut came in 2014 with The Shaukeens, where she had a cameo appearance. She also appeared in Badho Bahu as Pinky Ahlawat and was associated with Ragini MMS Returns Season 2.
Apart from acting, Banerjee has a background in classical performing arts. She is a trained Kathak dancer and has reportedly been learning the dance form for around 15 years. She has also performed at stage events in Kolkata and trained in classical singing. Banerjee has also taken up modelling assignments for television commercials in the past.
Antarra Banerjee’s Early Life And Education
Antarra was born into a Bengali family in Kolkata and later moved to Mumbai with her parents in 2013 to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. She enrolled in the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) programme at Nirmala Niketan College.
However, her demanding television shooting schedule reportedly left her with little time to continue her studies.
The clarification comes after reports mistakenly linked the actress to the RPF attack case due to the similarity in their names.
