Pratibha Ranta (born 17 December 2000) is an Indian actress who works in Hindi films and television. Ranta made her acting debut with the television show Qurbaan Hua (2020-2021). She has since starred in her film debut, Laapataa Ladies (2024) and the web series Heeramandi (2024), the former becoming her breakout role.[2]
Early life
[edit]Ranta was born on 17 December 2000 in a Pahari Rajput family hailing from Tikkar in Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh. She later shifted to Shimla for her education.[3][4] She did her schooling at the Convent of Jesus and Mary, Chelsea, Shimla and graduated in filmmaking from Usha Pravin Gandhi College of Management in Mumbai.
Career
[edit]Ranta made her acting debut in 2020 with Qurbaan Hua, where she played Chahat Baig Bhatt Dhyani opposite Karan Jotwani. The series ended in 2021.[5][6] Following this, she made her web debut with Aadha Ishq, where she played Rene Bhardwaj opposite Darsheel Safary and Gaurav Arora.[7] In her review for Times of India, Archika Khurana praised her performance but found her character to be "cliched" and "confusing".[8]
Ranta made her film debut in 2024, with Laapataa Ladies, where she played a swapped bride Jaya / Pushpa. The film was released in India in 2024.[9][10] Saibal Chatterjee termed her a "show-stealer", while Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express noted, "The more worldly-wise yet not-as-independent-as-she-would-like-to-be Ranta, who has the more difficult role to pull off, wins the day."[11][12] In the same year, she played Shama, a courtesan's daughter, in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's series Heeramandi.[13] Bollywood Hungama stated that Ranta doesn't have "much to do".[14]
