The corridors of the Bengali film industry, Tollywood, are currently abuzz with the sensational news of actor-politician Hiran Chatterjee’s second marriage. The actor reportedly tied the knot with Hritika Giri, a young woman hailing from Midnapore, West Bengal. The union became the "talk of the town" almost instantly after photographs of the couple’s traditional wedding ceremony at the iconic Ghats of Varanasi surfaced on social media.
As the internet remains divided over the news, many are curious about the woman who has captured the actor's heart. A deep dive into Hritika’s background reveals a profile of high achievement and versatility. Far from being just a newcomer to the limelight, she boasts an impressive academic and athletic record.
| Attribute | Details |
|---|---|
| Hometown | Midnapore, West Bengal |
| Education | Graduate in Law (LLB) |
| Athletic Honours | National-level Gold Medallist in Yoga |
| Pageantry | Winner of Beauty Pageants in 2019 and 2022 |
| Reported Age | 21 Years (as claimed by Anindita Chatterjee) |
| Former Role | Personal Assistant (PA) to Hiran Chatterjee |
The fairy-tale imagery of the Varanasi wedding stands in stark contrast to the claims made by Hiran’s first wife, Anindita Chatterjee. According to Anindita, she and Hiran have been married for 25 years and have not yet legally divorced. Her reaction to the viral photos was one of profound hurt and public condemnation of the actor's character.
"We have been married for a quarter of a century," Anindita stated in a recent interview. "My daughter and I have endured immense suffering and abuse, which I kept quiet about to protect my daughter's burgeoning career. But the level of disrespect is now clear for all to see. To think a man could be this insolent—he posts wedding photos on Instagram but has never once shared a photo of his own daughter."
Perhaps the most shocking revelation from Anindita was Hritika’s initial entry into their lives. She claimed that she was well-acquainted with Hritika, but only in the capacity of her husband's Personal Assistant (PA). The sudden transition from a professional staff member to a second wife has left the actor’s family and the public in a state of disbelief.
While Hiran has yet to release an official statement regarding the legality of his second marriage or the allegations of abuse, the scandal has cast a shadow over his political and cinematic standing. As the legalities of the situation unfold, Tollywood watchers are keenly observing whether this "Varanasi Vow" will lead to a protracted courtroom battle.
