When in school, Tinat would be an active participant in the annual day concerts, almost always taking the lead role. Her first stint on stage was when she enacted the role of “Lord Krishna” in Nursery Class. Elocution and debates had been her forte, with acting taking the front seat. This is probably why she had bagged the “Best Actress” award in an One Act Play, while pursuing her Pre-University course in Shillong, Meghalaya. Then on, acting had become somewhat of a passion with her. She relocated to Guwahati in 1989. She was only too happy when a director, Prafulla Saikia in Guwahati asked her to do a role (though in a guest appearance) for his docu-feature film titled, “Paani” in 1992. Thereafter, she received a lot of offers for acting. Her best role was that of a ‘spoilt daughter’ of a rich father in a nationally acclaimed director, dramatist, writer, actor and newscaster, Kulada Bhattacharyya’s, thirteen episodes serial, “Tezaal Ghora” in 1994. After that, she has acted in several other documentaries, features, stage-plays, films and more…
