Idhika Paul has delivered two back-to-back hit films paired with two superstar actors from both Bengals. Riding the wave of success, this actress has now become the new Bong crush in the eyes of her fans. While her latest film Khadan is creating a storm at the box office, Idhika indulged in a fun online chat, sharing various stories.
Idhika Paul’s acting journey began on the small screen. After proving her talent there, she gradually made her way to the big screen. With one success after another, her popularity skyrocketed overnight. Today, Idhika is a well-known name among audiences on both sides of the Bengal border.
Was acting something she always dreamed of? With a sweet smile, Idhika responded, “I never planned to be an actress when I was a child. But once I started acting, I began dreaming of working on the big screen.”
As her films continued to succeed at the box office, many have labeled Idhika a “lucky charm.” When asked about it, she laughed and said, “I don’t know how lucky I am for others. But I do consider myself very lucky. I believe in fate. Still, I never thought I’d achieve so much before the end of 2024.”
Idhika is deeply grateful for her success. She shared that each character has taught her something new and increased her love for acting even more. She considers the opportunity to work on diverse roles to be the biggest reward of her life.
Reflecting on her experience working in Khadan, Idhika said, “I learned a lot and had so much fun while shooting this film. I made plenty of memories. Devda (Dev) is such a fun-loving person. He was always pulling pranks, and because of him, I never felt the pressure of work. We all truly enjoyed the shooting experience together.”
How is Idhika enjoying her success? At this question, a satisfied smile lights up her face. She says, “Right now, it’s all about Khadan. Everyone is calling me ‘Kishori.’ What more could I ask for?”
What are her future plans after working with two superstars from both Bengals? With a sweet smile, Idhika replies, “How would I know! Let’s see. But yes, I will manifest my next project with Shah Rukh Khan.” Her confidence and dreams hint that there are more surprises in store for her fans.
With success comes controversy too. After the release of Priyotoma, rumors spread that Idhika was in a special relationship with Bangladeshi superstar Shakib Khan. This rumor also reached Idhika’s ears. Amused, she says, “I’ve had a relationship with everyone I’ve acted with—an acting relationship, of course!” Her words make it clear that she’s unbothered by the gossip and finds it rather entertaining.
Laughing, she adds, “So many people love me so much that they overthink about me. If it’s constructive discussion, I definitely take it seriously. But if I focus on these kinds of rumors, how will I get my work done?”
So, what is Idhika’s current relationship status? Playfully, she reveals, “To those who truly love me, here’s some news—I’m completely single.” Her candid response leaves everyone around her in fits of laughter.
