Pratibha Ranta (born 17 December 2000) is an Indian actress who works in Hindi films and television. Ranta made her acting debut with the television show Qurbaan Hua (2020-2021). She has since starred in her film debut, Laapataa Ladies (2024) and the web series Heeramandi (2024).[1]
Early life[edit]
Ranta was born on 17 December 2000 in a small village near Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. She later shifted to Shimla for her higher education.[2][3]
Career[edit]
Ranta made her acting debut in 2020, with Qurbaan Hua, where she played Chahat Baig Bhatt Dhyani opposite Karan Jotwani. The series ended in 2021.[4][5] Following this, she made her web debut with Aadha Ishq, where she played Rene Bhardwaj opposite Darsheel Safary and Gaurav Arora.[6] In her review for Times of India, Archika Khurana praised her performance but found her character to be "cliched" and "confusing".[7]
Ranta made her film debut in 2024, with Laapataa Ladies, where she played a swapped bride Pushpa / Jaya. The film was released in India in 2024.[8][9] Saibal Chatterjee termed her a "show-stealer", while Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express noted, "The more worldly-wise yet not-as-independent-as-she-would-like-to-be Ranta, who has the more difficult role to pull off, win the day."[10][11] In the same year, she played Shama, a courtesan's daughter in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's series Heeramandi.[12] Bollywood Hungama stated that Ranta doesn't have "much to do".[13]
