Koena Mitra :The dusky beauty from Bengal began her career as a model after winning the Gladrags Supermodel contest in 2002. Koena featured in a couple of music videos and made it big in TV commercials as she modeled for ACP Whisky, Miranda, Maruti Alto and Clinic All Clear.

Pritish Nandy’s ‘Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena’ was Koena’s first claim to fame as she played the lead actress opposite Fardeen Khan in the movie. Even tough the movie wasn’t a hit, Koena finally made it to the actress club. Koena dramatics aren’t very impressive, but she is able to procure roles with her dancing style and image.

This sultry and hot model from Calcutta is here to make it big. She took the modelling world by winning the Supermodel title and later on went on to become the semi-finalist of Miss Intercontinental. Koena aspires to be an actress and featured in quite a few music videos like 'Stereo Nation´s Ishq', 'Aaj Ki Raat', 'Akh Teri', 'Channo' by Jassi.

Koena’s first break in Bollywood was an item number in Ram Gopal Verma’s ‘Road’; the song “Khullam Khulla” became a big craze and Koena got typecasted as an item girl. Koena was flooded with offers to do raunchy numbers in Bollywood movies, but she refused as she was waiting to make her mark as an actress. It took Koena two years and Sanjay Gupta’s ‘Musafir’ to break the mould.
