For her film ‘The Shameless’. This is the first time an Indian actress has been awarded in this category at Cannes. But Ansuya’s career began many years ago. She also worked in Bengali films. Ansuya is seen in the role of Tanya in Anjan Dutt’s ‘Madly Bengali’. Ansuya, a girl from Lake Gardens, Kolkata, is a student in the English department at Jadavpur University.

Ansuya shared several pictures from Cannes on her social media page. She is the best actress for this film, which was shot in just four days.
