Pahadi Sanyal
Also Known As: পাহাড়ী সান্যাল , Pahari Sanyal, पहाड़ी सान्याल
Biography: Pahadi Sanyal was an Indian actor and singer who is known for his work in Bengali cinema. Sanyal acted in many Bengali films, such as Harano Sur, Bhanu Goenda Jahar Assistant, and Shilpi. While Chhabi Biswas and Kamal Mitra reigned the golden era of Bengali celluloid with their personalities and deep baritones, Pahari Sanyal was a check and balance to their aura. He was subtle, he was muted, yet he left a mark at times as the dearest uncle, the dedicated elder brother or even as the dignified office boss.
