KOLKATA: From a model-actor and nail artist living in a humble house at Belgharia's Dewanpara to an actor and film producer owning multiple flats in posh high-rises in south Kolkata, Arpita Mukherjee has come a long way over the past few years.
In 2019, she replaced actor Rituparna Sengupta as the poster girl for Naktala Udayan Sangha, patronized by Partha Chatterjee. But nothing could account for the Rs 21.2 crore in cash, gold jewellery worth Rs 79 lakh and Rs 54-lakh forex, along with 22 mobiles, seized from her Tollgyunge flat.
Sources said Mukherjee began a career in modelling in around 2004. Over the years, she opened three nail salons in Patuli, on Lake View Road and in Baranagar. While working on her modelling career, she began getting small roles in Bengali films.
