Early life

Ghose, who was one of eight siblings, was born as Chapala Nayak on 28 March 1933 in Manasinghpatana, Cuttack district, Odisha, British India.[7] [8] [9] Her father, Basudev Naik, managed the Manmohan Press, a prominent book publisher.

Ghose began her career as a child voice actor on All India Radio before transitioning to on-screen film roles. She made her film debut as child artist of character Nila Madhav in 1949 film, Shri Jagannath. Her big break came in the 1953 film Amari Gaan Jhua (Our Village Girl), where she was cast as the female lead actress. Amari Gaan Jhua, which explored the controversial practice of child marriage, won her positive reviews.[11] [12]

In 1956, Ghose appeared as the lead actress in the successful Odia language film, Bhai Bhai, alongside her future husband, Gour Prasad Ghose, who was also the producer. Bhai Bhai, which showcased her prowess as a lead actress, greatly increased her profile in the Indian film industry. It also led to her interest in film directing and production. Thereafter Ghose appeared in Maa in 1959, also produced by Gour Prasad Ghose.[13]

Parbati Ghose and her husband produced, co-directed and acted in Lakshmi (1962), Kaa (1965), Stree (1968).

A few years later, she produced and directed Chha Mana Atha Guntha in 1986.[14] [15] She had worked in Hindi and Bengali language Telefilms like 'Prashna' and 'Sopan'.[16] She also appeared in Sansaar in 1971.[17] [18] [19]

In early days of Odia cinema, she single-handedly uplifted it to a new level. She is considered as a symbol of women's empowerment when an idea like empowerment was unheard of. Her departure is a great loss to our industry and the world of silver screen. She will always be remembered for her contribution to Odia cinema."[24] [25]
