Personal life

Parambrata was born in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. He is the son of Satinath Chatterjee, a journalist, and Sunetra Ghatak, a renowned film critic; maternal grandson of Ashish Chandra Ghatak and Indira Ghatak, and grandnephew of filmmaker Ritwik Ghatak.[3] Bengali author and activist Mahasweta Devi is Parambrata's aunt. He has often been targeted by hindutva activists for his views.[4] He was previously in a relationship with actress Swastika Mukherjee, and also with Ike Schouten, a doctor from The Netherlands, for nearly a decade.[5][6] Parambrata studied at Patha Bhavan School, Kolkata. He holds a bachelor's degree in English literature from Jadavpur University.[7] He also obtained a master's degree in Film and Television from the University of Bristol.[8]

On 27 November 2023, he married Piya Chakraborty, a singer-social worker in a private ceremony. On 1 June 2025, they had a baby boy.[9]

Career

Chatterjee has acted in many television series, tele-films, short films and films. His directorial debut feature film is Jiyo Kaka (2011) starring Rituparna Sengupta and Rudranil Ghosh. His second directorial venture was Hawa Bodol (2013). Seven months after the success of Kahaani, he was signed by Jeffrey D. Brown, who won an Academy Award for his debut short film in 1986, for his film Sold.[10][11]

On 30 May 2011, he became a producer along with colleague, Rudranil Ghosh, by launching their own production house, Workshop Productions Pvt. Ltd, in association with Dipak Raha of Durgandh Group.[12]

Along with his business partner Aritra Sen, he currently runs their production house Roadshow Films.

For the movie Abhijaan Poulami Bose accused director Parambrata of blatant misrepresentations of original events, ignoring important people and aspects of his life and using her son's accident in the film. Parambrata said the depictions were endorsed by the actor himself.[13]

Criminal Case

In May 2026, an FIR was registered against Chatterjee and actor Swastika Mukherjee at Gariahat police station in Kolkata about their social media posts on May 2, 2021, immediately after TMC’s victory in the then Assembly elections instigated political violence against BJP workers in the state. The FIR registered by an advocate claims that at around 4 pm on May 4, Chatterjee made a post in Bengali, which meant- “Let today be declared World ‘Rogorani’ thrashing Day!”), to which Swastika Mukherjee responded with an emoji, saying “Hahahah Hok Hok”, which added to the fury. [14][15] [16]

Swastika has already appeared before the police and her statement was recorded by the Investigating Officer, while Chatterjee has moved to Calcutta High Court with a prayer to quash the FIR registered against him. [17][18]

Meanwhile Chatterjee's wife Piya has called it a ridiculous allegation. [19]
