# Sauraseni Maitra plays pregnant gun-toting action star in Nibba Nibbi 2026-08-14T06:15:01+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Sauraseni Maitra stars as Paro, a heavily pregnant woman wielding a gun in the Bengali dark comedy road film Nibba Nibbi, directed by Tathagata Mukherjee. The film follows Paro and her volatile partner Deba (Rishav Basu) as they flee with a stolen hard drive. NDTV reports that the character challenges typical portrayals of pregnant women as vulnerable. Maitra told NDTV that she wore a prosthetic bump to rehearsals and home to make her performance seamless. She said the pregnancy is part of Paro’s identity but does not define her true nature. The actor, who began her career at age 9, has appeared in films including Chittagong and Generation Aami. ## Coverage - ndtv.com - ndtv.com Tags: Bengali cinema, female gaze, film character, Nibba Nibbi, Sauraseni Maitra, sex worker portrayal Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/sauraseni-maitra-on-playing-pregnant-sex-worker-in-nibba-nibbi/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
