Born on 7th January in Kolkata, Koena had a very strong conviction to pursue a career in modeling since she was in school. (Photo: IANS)
-
She did her schooling from South Point High School in Kolkata. After joining Lady Brabourne College in Kolkata, she started taking modeling assignments.
-
Though she started her career in the modeling industry at a very young age, she decided to make a slow and steady start. She got some big names to endorse like Clinic All Clear, Maruti Alto and Mirinda at an early age.
-
But she rose to fame only after winning the Gladrags Mega Model, 2002 title.
-
After this success followed lots of modeling assignments and offers to shoot for music videos.
-
Stereo Nation's Ishq and Channo by Jassi are some of the famous videos which made Koena a recognizable face in the glamour world.
-
All these modeling assignments and shootings enhanced her skills so that she got comfortable before the camera.
-
So Koena Mitra's entry into Bollywood was a rage. A sizzling item number 'Khullam Khulla' in Ram Gopal Verma's ‘Road' was a trendsetter of that time.
-
Though she made some small appearances in films like Musafir, Dhool etc yet she made her presence felt in Bollywood.
-
Her first film as a lead actress was Suparn Verma's Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena.
-
She was cast opposite Fardeen Khan in this film.
-
Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena had a lukewarm response but Koena was raring to go in the film industry.
-
She proved herself in Apna Sapna Money, Money as the film did a very good business.
-
The film was appreciated and so was Koena's acting talent.
-
Koena has done couple of other films too like Cash, Heyy Babyy, Agar, Anamika but she is yet to be among the A-listers of the film indstury.
-
But last year the actress was in news not because of her film but because she underwent a plastic surgery to sharpen her nose.
-
Koena admitted that it was a wrong decision because she used to look better before the surgery.
-
In an interview she said, ".” It was a wrong decision that I took and I don't blame anyone for it."
-
In fact rumors suggested that Koena also had silicon implants to enhance her twin assets but the actress has dismissed it strongly.
-
But being an outsider, her entry to Bollywood hasn't been a cakewalk for her. She works very hard to keep fit and prepare herself for the challenges ahead.
-
In fact she is a fitness freak. She makes sure that she doesn't miss her gym even after her busy schedule.
-
According to her it's eating right and regular exercise which keeps her body in a fabulous shape.
-
In fact she prefers to done stunts on her own as she is a trained in Tai Chi and kick boxing.
-
Koena Mitra is a wonderful dancer too. In fact she was in Mamata Shankar Ballet troupe for almost 12 years.
-
She's also trained in Latin and Hip Hop.
-
Besides her acting and dancing talent, Koena is a very good make-up artist too.
-
Her talent doesn't end here only. Her favourite pastime is to design her house and clothes.
-
She loves driving and so she has a fetish for luxury cars. When it comes to food, she loves sea food.
