Tupur Chatterjee is one of the granddaughter of legendary filmmaker
Hrishikesh Mukherjee
, who gave us films like Satyakam, Anupama,
Chupke Chupke
, Guddi or Abhimaan. Tupur and Tapur are twins born to Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s daughter. Both were models, who had been very popular walking on ramps and even have endorsed several brands. Twins Tapur and Tupur were even once considered to be the upcoming twinkle-twinkle little stars and there was a hope for both of them to work in a movie. The film was announced by J P Dutta, who wanted to introduce the twins to Sarod maestro Amjad Ali Khans’s two sons Ayaan and
Amaan Ali Khan
. But J P Dutta had dumped the two heroines and hence they could not get noticed in any films. However, coming to Tupur Chatterjee, she was a commercial art student and a recipient of the Presidents' Award for poster designing. She has taken up modeling career as a personal choice. She used to get offers for modeling when she was studying in college. She also has walked many ramps with leading designers of the modeling world. She was also very selective in her assignments in order to avoid too much exposure.
In this modeling world, where one will outshine other celebrity, both sisters stayed far ahead of any completion. She is health conscious and regarded her mother as a woman with a good skin. It is still not known why Tupur was not considered in any Bollywood movies, when there is a huge scope of model turned actresses now. Tupur Chatterjee is married to Dubai businessman Sonu Shewakramani, who has business in Lagos, Nigeria and the groom’s parents live in Dubai. Her favorite designers are
Sabyasachi Mukherjee
and
Ritu Kumar
. Being a super model, she lives the glamorous world every day. Even though, she never got any break in movies, she feels people get into films because of glamour, money and attention- which she has too in her domain now. She was born on April 24, 1980 in Kolkata. Her mother was Surashree Chatterjee, daughter of Hrishikesh Mukherjee, married to Sumeet Chatterjee.
