Style isn’t just about the clothes you wear, it’s about the strength you carry in your eyes and the stories you dare to tell.”~ Payal Ghosh
Payal Ghosh is a dynamic Indian actress, fearless politician, and passionate change-maker who seamlessly blends glamour with grit. She is a proud actor, Vice President of Republican Party of India (Athawale), and Director of Future Choice (Middle East), embracing her multifaceted identity with confidence and ambition.
Born in Kolkata in 1992, Payal began her life as a studious young girl at St. Paul’s Mission School before graduating with a degree in Political Science from the prestigious Scottish Church College. But it wasn’t long before the world of cinema lured her away from academia. From dazzling film sets to political rallies, Payal Ghosh’s journey is a bold narrative of transformation, grit, and reinvention.
Her entry into acting was almost serendipitous, at just 17, she tagged along with a friend to an audition and landed a role in the British telefilm Sharpe’s Peril. Her powerful portrayal of a revolutionary’s daughter opened doors, eventually leading her to the Telugu industry with Prayanam, followed by roles in Mr. Rascal, Oosaravelli, and the Kannada film Varshadhaare. Her Bollywood presence sparkled with Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi, alongside Vir Das and Rishi Kapoor, and more recently in Koi Jaane Na and the upcoming Fire of Love: Red.
In October 2020, Payal stepped into politics by joining the Republican Party of India (Athawale), where she was swiftly appointed the vice president of the party’s women’s wing. Since then, she has been actively working on initiatives focused on women’s safety, empowerment, and inclusion, especially in underrepresented communities. Her efforts include advocating for stronger legal support for women and creating platforms for female voices in public policy discussions.
In both her screen presence and public life, Payal radiates resilience, courage, and a sense of purpose. Today, she is not just a fashion icon but a trailblazer for women in leadership. Whether draped in a saree or leading from the frontlines of social reform, she represents strength with style. Payal Ghosh continues to inspire with every step, on-screen, in politics, and in life turning each of her dreams into reality, one bold move at a time.
