The actor is now active in Tollywood and has been hosting a successful game show on ‘Zee Bangla’ called ‘Didi No.1’ for the past eight years.My City Links managed to have a short interaction with the diva. ![]() Despite her Bengali roots, she was so convincing in her portrayal of the typical Odia girl on screen that many hailed her as the best example of ‘Khanti Odiani’. Rachna also worked in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada films as well as starred in Bollywood film ‘Sooryavansham’ with Amitabh Bachchan. The actor worked in about 40 Odia films, majority of which, including Suhaga Sindura, Ganga Jamuna, RaktaSindura, Kandhei Akhi re Luha, Mo Kola To Jhulana, Sei Jhiati, Paradesi Babu and Santan, were with superstar Siddhanta Mohapatra.

Odia cinema boasts of a number of leading actors from the neighbouring West Bengal who have gone beyond boundaries of language and ruled the hearts of Odia cine-goers.
