My Take
Riddhi Sen genuinely excites me as a talent to watch. Born in Kolkata in 1998, he became the youngest actor in India to win the National Film Award for Best Actor, taking the 2018 prize for Nagarkirtan while barely out of his teens. That is a staggering achievement at any age. Working primarily in Bengali cinema, he clearly soaked up Kolkata's rich artistic culture, and his performance was later ranked among the decade's greatest. What I find most compelling is the runway ahead of him: an actor who reached the summit so young, with so much depth still left to add. I will be following his career closely.
