On the strength of her skills and talents, Subholina has left her mark in the music industry as an actor, singer and songwriter despite being an outsider.

Subholina Sen is a Singer, Actor, Songwriter and Composer based out of Mumbai. She has been carrying out this profession for the past eight years. She also has a band with whom she performs live shows and concerts for various clubs, corporates and other events. Her musical journey has brought her into the acting and production line as well.

Subholina was born in Kolkata but she spent her infant years in different cities of Rajasthan and Delhi. Then again she moved to Kolkata, where her parents put her into dancing, music and other co-curricular activities at a very young age. She was good at studies too. She did her BBA from St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata. But, when the time came for taking up a job, she realized that she was more interested in art. She started working in this direction and gradually she started getting music shows and moved forward in this field. Three years ago, she moved to Mumbai to explore bigger opportunities.

Subholina says that her acting journey started from Kolkata itself with a small role in a  movie. It gave her acting career a boost and slowly she started getting roles in web series on Netflix as well as big Bengali feature films. After coming to Mumbai, many more avenues of her acting career were opened and she also worked in several short films. At present, she is waiting for her big break in the industry.

Recalling her proud moments, Subholina says that being an artist, she loves to see her audience forgetting the outside world, grooving to her songs and their appreciation is the biggest achievement for her. Besides, she composed and sang a jingle for India’s biggest hair serum brand ‘Livon’, which is a huge achievement in itself. Also, a song composed by her got featured in a famous web series on Netflix called ‘Little Things- Season 2’. That was a proud moment for her.

Sharing her COVID experience, Subholina says that the pandemic shook the event industry badly. Consequently, all the live shows and events got canceled and her livelihood became very difficult for it being her main source of income. But instead of sitting back, she worked on diversifying her studio work and started recording from her home setup. She also resorted to live streaming which became quite a hit and earned good money too. Eventually, a lot of commercial projects started pouring in and work has never fallen short since then.

Between education and experience, Subholina believes that education in itself is extremely valuable for learning the basic life skills and ethics to live life properly. But after that, experience plays a vital role to move ahead in life and progress in your career. She believes that in the field of art, experience matters more than a formal degree to decide your future.

Subholina loves spending her leisure time listening to soothing and calming meditation music. Besides this, she likes cooking, surfing on social media and watching movies and web series.

Subholina advises everyone that no matter what happens, you must take care of yourself on your own. Further she says that if you do not depend on anyone, you would not be answerable to anyone, which is a key to happiness.

Advising the youth, Subholina tells them to identify their skills and talents and put their energy in the field they want to pursue their careers in. She adds by saying that the sooner you recognize your talent, the sooner you will be able to start your career and the sooner you will be able to achieve your goals. Especially, keep your values intact while progressing in your career and you will definitely succeed in life.
