Before becoming one of Bengal’s most recognised faces, Mimi Chakraborty started her journey as a model. She gained massive popularity with the television show Gaaner Oparey and later entered films with Bapi Bari Jaa.
Over the years, she delivered several successful Bengali films including Bojhena Shey Bojhena, Gangster, Crisscross and Dracula Sir. Industry reports suggest she charges between ₹30 lakh and ₹50 lakh per movie, placing her among the top-paid Bengali actresses.
In 2019, she entered politics as a candidate of the All India Trinamool Congress and won the Jadavpur Lok Sabha seat. Her tenure as a Member of Parliament added both visibility and income to her career. However, in 2024, she announced her decision to leave politics.
Apart from films, Mimi earns significantly through Instagram promotions, paid collaborations and endorsement campaigns. With millions of followers online, she remains a favourite choice for lifestyle and beauty brands.
