Biana Watre Momin never imagined a life before the camera. Raised in Meghalaya’s Garo Hills, she grew up without cinemas or theatres, eventually dedicating her life to teaching English literature at Tura Government College. Poetry, books, and classrooms shaped her world. Acting, by contrast, remained entirely foreign. Even after retirement, her days revolved around family, pets, and quiet routines. Yet this grounding in observation, empathy, and human emotion would later become her greatest strength on screen, proving that storytelling is not limited to stages or studios.
