New Delhi [India], October 19: The transformation of Anindita Dasgupta to Anindgita Dasgupta is as fascinating as her journey in the entertainment industry. As the director, cinematographer, and writer of the bilingual web series Kuch Kuch Film Jaisi (Bengali and Hindi language, produced By Aam Public Entertainment)), she has garnered widespread acclaim, with the series receiving 143 awards nominations and official selections in film festivals across Hollywood, Florida-USA, Brazil, Italy, the United Kingdom, Turkey, France, Spain, Sweden, Germany, Zimbabwe, the UAE, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, India, and many other countries. Recognitions have included honours for Best Writer, Best Director, Best Script Writer, Best Screenplay, Best Dialogue Writer, Best Cinematographer, Best Web Series, and Best Story.
Anindgita’s creative vision and unique approach to storytelling have left a lasting impression on audiences. Kuch Kuch Film Jaisi consists of fourteen episodes, each showcasing diverse plots and subplots. The narrative takes unexpected turns every 10 minutes, with characters evolving and the storyline shifting in ways that keep viewers on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating what comes next.
But it’s not just the series’ innovative style that grabs attention. The evolution of Anindgita Dasgupta’s name is equally intriguing. Known initially as Anindita Dasgupta, she explored several names before finally adopting the on-screen persona of Anindgita Dasgupta. Through experiments with names such as Kumhan, Anninditaa Dasgupta, Kumhan Kushum Kumari Aanni, etc, she ultimately settled on “Anindgita” after considering numerology and astrology. She began testing the name on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram during the pre-production and shooting phases of Kuch Kuch Film Jaisi. In the series, she also used Kumhan Kushum Kumari Aanni as her pen name for the subtitles.
Addressing the curiosity surrounding her name change, Anindgita explains, “In the film industry, it’s common practice to change names, often multiple times. Many people do it, and no one questions it because the focus is on the work, not the name. Everyone has formal names, nicknames, and pet names, yet it doesn’t affect who they are. The same applies to our industry. Changing a name doesn’t alter a person’s identity—it’s about finding a name that feels right. In the end, what matters most is the quality of the work and success in the business.”
Anindgita firmly believes that while 90% of success is driven by hard work, patience, and talent, the remaining 10% is influenced by luck. “No matter how good your project is, if the audience doesn’t connect with it, the result can be disappointing. Luck plays a role in meeting the right people at the right time, and I’ve seen how changing my name has positively affected both my personal and professional life. After adopting the name ‘Anindgita Dasgupta,’ I noticed that negative influences faded away, and I was surrounded by positive energy and supportive individuals. This name has been lucky for me, helping to break the cycle of bad luck,” she said. Anindgita also confirms that she has completed all legal formalities related to the name change.
The success of Kuch Kuch Film Jaisi—as demonstrated by the numerous awards and accolades—proves that the name “Anindgita Dasgupta” has been a fortunate choice. Like many other celebrities who have changed their names to achieve success, Anindgita’s journey highlights how a name change can, in some cases, be a powerful factor in creating a new path toward accomplishment in the film industry.
