She won accolades for her performance in the past and is touted to win a second national award for her performance in 'Saanjbathir Roopkathar', a film based on the novel by the celebrated poet and novelist, Joy Goswami. Indrani became a household name, thanks to her role as 'Maa Shakti' in the tele-serial of the same name. Her work in the parallel cinema was noticed when Buddhadeb Dasgupta signed her for the national award winner 'Charachar'. 'Lal Darja' and yet another national award winner, 'Shweth Pathorer Thala', followed soon. For the actress, who believes that there are either bad films or good ones, there is no demarcation between parallel and commercial cinema. Known as a thinking actress, she adroitly picks her roles. 'Saanjibathi' appealed to Indrani, who is believed to have given a mind-blowing performance in the film. The role of a once innocent Saanjibathi, her relentless quest for meaning in her life and her stirring encounters with the realities of life, challenged Indrani to give her best shot.

Involved in social activities, Indrani has been working for the cause of Thalessemia Foundation, Aamra. The actress, who had been blessed by Satyajit Ray, is surely going to emerge a winner.
