Tridha Choudhury: From Dahleez to Aashram’s Babita and Aakhri Sawal

By her own account, Tridha Choudhury got Aashram in a supermarket. She has said she ran into Madhvi Bhat, who is credited as a writer on the series, and was told on the spot that she should do the show. The part was Babita in Prakash Jha’s MX Player drama, which stars Bobby Deol as the godman Baba Nirala, and it turned a working actress into a household name.

Before that, Choudhury had spent seven years in Bengali and Telugu films and one StarPlus series. Since then she has moved between Hindi OTT, Bengali cinema and mainstream Hindi films. In May 2026 she appeared alongside Sanjay Dutt in Aakhri Sawal, and by August Aashram season 4 was reported to be filming.

This profile follows her career in order, and it leaves out two things older articles stated with more confidence than the evidence allows: her birth year and her relationship status.

Who Is Tridha Choudhury?

Tridha Choudhury is an Indian actress who works mainly in Hindi, Bengali and Telugu films and series. She won the Clean & Clear Times of India Fresh Face contest in 2011, and in 2020 she was ranked No. 13 on The Times of India’s Most Desirable Women list.

Her degree is in microbiology, which she studied at Scottish Church College in Kolkata before acting took over.

How Old Is Tridha Choudhury?

Tridha Choudhury was born on 22 November in Kolkata, West Bengal. Her birth year is given as 1989 in some profiles and 1993 in others, so Belloria does not state a confirmed age.

Early Life and Background

Choudhury was born in Kolkata and went to M.P. Birla Foundation Higher Secondary School before studying microbiology at Scottish Church College. Her birthday is 22 November. Profiles give the year as 1989 or 1993, and Belloria has not found an official statement from her, so the year is not stated here. Details about her family are not documented in reliable interviews and are not repeated.

Career

Fresh Face to film debut (2011 to 2016)

The Fresh Face title in 2011 came two years before her film debut. She made it in Srijit Mukherji’s Bengali film Mishawr Rawhoshyo (2013), playing Rini, and followed with Bengali films including Jodi Love Dile Na Prane and Khaad (both 2014), Merry Christmas (2015) and Khawto (2016). In Telugu she appeared in Surya vs Surya (2015). Her television debut, Dahleez, premiered on StarPlus on 14 March 2016, and she played Swadheenta Ramakrishnan.

Web series and the Aashram breakthrough (2017 to 2020)

She moved into streaming with Spotlight (2017) and the Bengali series Shei Je Holud Pakhi (2018), and added the Telugu films Manasuku Nachindi (2018), Seven (2019) and Anukunnadi Okati Ayinadi Okati (2020). The turning point was 2020. Aashram started streaming on MX Player on 28 August 2020, and Bandish Bandits, with her as Sandhya, arrived on Amazon Prime Video the same year.

The Aashram role came with a brief. She has said she was advised to put on weight because Babita could not look too polished, and that the team worked with her on dialogue and training.

After Aashram (2021 to 2025)

Arranged (2022) and Sin: Whispers of Guilt (2023) kept her in Hindi OTT, and she appeared in the Bengali film Boomerang (2023). She also featured in music videos, including Dhokebaaz (2022) with Vivek Oberoi, Tere Mere (2023) and Dhuan Dhuan (2023). Aashram’s third season concluded in February 2025, and that year she added three Hindi films: Dil Dosti Aur Dogs, So Long Valley, in which she plays Inspector Suman Negi, and Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, released on 12 December 2025.

Major Work and Notable Projects

Current Projects and Latest Updates

Aakhri Sawal (2026)

Aakhri Sawal reached cinemas on 15 May 2026. Directed by Abhijeet Mohan Warang and produced by Sanjay Dutt, who also stars, it is a political drama that the makers built around the 100-year history of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Choudhury plays Saara in a cast that includes Amit Sadh, Namashi Chakraborty, Sameera Reddy and Neetu Chandra. India Today’s review called it bold but undermined by dramatic excess. In a 2025 interview she told Bollywood Hungama that she would only believe she was working with Sanjay Dutt when she met him on set.

Aashram season 4

In the same 2025 interview, Choudhury confirmed that Aashram season 4 would start shooting in 2026. Reports in August 2026 said filming had begun with Bobby Deol back as Baba Nirala. No release date has been announced.
