Early life and family

Yash Rohan was born on 22 December 1990 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. [4] His father Naresh Bhuiyan is an actor and photojournalist, and mother Shilpi Sarkar Apu is a playwright and actress, best known for her work in the 1985 television drama Ei Shob Din Ratri. [5] [6] [7] According to Rohan, although both his parents belonged to the entertainment arena, he initially had no plans to pursue a career in acting. [7] On a television programme, he revealed that he had tremendous fascination towards physics in his childhood and aspired to be a physicist on growing up. [8]

Rohan's ancestral house is in Netrokona. He is a Hindu. [9] He has a degree in engineering from BRAC university. [10] [11]

Career

Rohan directed and appeared in a short film named Doob in 2015. [12] The following year, he directed another short film, The Red Note. [2] He made his acting debut with Giasuddin Selim's Swapnajaal in 2018. [13] [14] [15] Fahmim Ferdous of The Daily Star noted him for "giv[ing] a fairly tight performance for a newcomer". [16] Rohan later revealed that he despised his performance in Swapnajaal and never gave a proper watch to the film, but an unexpected positive reception encouraged him to continue his work. [10] In 2018, Rohan also made a cameo appearance in Iti, Tomari Dhaka , [17] [18] and featured in the web film Rupkotha (2018). [19] [20]

In February 2019, two of Rohan's short films, Tea Stall and Kintu, Jodi Emon Hoto, were released, followed by the web series Gone Case. [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] The same year in September, the actor starred in Arun Chowdhury's Mayaboti opposite Nusrat Imrose Tisha. [26] [27] The film was well-received by audience. [28] [29]

Rohan has described his character Ratul in Networker Baire (2021) as his most favourite one. [30] The film starred an ensemble cast, including Sariful Razz, Nazia Haque Orsha and Tasnia Farin. Reviewing for The Business Standard , Siffat Bin Ayub named Rohan as the best performer in the film alongside Khairul Bashar. [31] Rohan gained further popularity with a starring role opposite Bidya Sinha Saha Mim in Raihan Rafi's Poran (2022), a major box-office success. He refers to it as milestone in his career. [32] A reviewer for The Daily Star, however, stated that Rohan got overshadowed by Sariful Razz in the film. [33]

In 2024, Rohan starred in two popular dramas based on the anti-discrimination students movement: Obujh Pakhi and Forget Me Not. [34] [35] The former, which saw him playing a student and political activist, became a major success garnering 11 million views in a single day on YouTube. [36]

In the media

Rohan is one of the most popular young actors in Bangladeshi cinema. [3] [30] He has played a variety of roles in multiple genres, but is best known for romantic characters. [37] Noting his boy next door screen persona, Antara Raisa of The Daily Star commented that he "has captivated the audience with his charming personality and sweet smile." [38]

His parents being established actors, Rohan has faced criticism in media for being a beneficiary of nepotism. The actor argues that while his parents' reputation did provide him a break in films, he "survives in the industry on [his] own merit". [39]
