Arjun was born in Kolkata, West Bengal, India on 5 March 1990 ^[6] and was also raised there. His brother is actor Gaurav Chakrabarty. He married his long-term girlfriend, Sreeja Sen, on 10 March 2016. ^[7] However, Sreeja got engaged to Arjun on 6 June 2017. The couple's daughter Avantika was born on 15 February 2018. ^[8]

Career

Arjun Chakrabarty debuted on television, along with his elder brother Gaurav Chakrabarty, in the Star Jalsha megaserial Gaaner Oparey . ^[9] His character, Gora, was the official male lead. His portrayal was well received by both audiences and critics', earning him wide popularity. However, Chakrabarty had begun his journey in the entertainment industry much earlier, as a child actor in Satyajiter Priyo Golpo on DD Bangla in 2000.

He made his silver screen debut with the romantic comedy Bapi Bari Jaa, directed by Sudeshna Roy and Abhijit Guha, which was released in December 2012.

Chakrabarty returned to television in 2017 with Jamai Raja on Zee Bangla. ^[10] His character, Ishan Chatterjee, became hugely popular among audiences for his convincing portrayal. ^[11]

At the beginning of his film career, most of his appearances did not achieve significant critical or commercial success, with the exception of Chirodini Tumi Je Amar 2 (2014). He gained prominence in 2018 with his role as Abir in Guptodhoner Sandhane , directed by Dhrubo Banerjee. The same year, he portrayed Satyakam in Arindam Sil's Byomkesh Gotro , a performance that received positive reviews. ^{[12] [13]} His recurring role as Abir in the Guptodhon film series further established his position in mainstream Bengali cinema.

Chakrabarty later played Apu in Avijatrik , a reinterpretation of the iconic character. ^[14] His performance was widely praised, although the film achieved only moderate commercial success.

Besides, he debuted on the OTT platform with the Hoichoi web series The Nightwatchman. After that, he worked in several other web series.
