Though Bob Biswas was centred on Abhishek Bachchan’s character, Chitrangda Singh held her own as his wife Mary, proving that screen time hardly determines an actor’s memorability. Her performance has won her a Best Supporting Actor (Female): Film nomination at the mid-day and Radio City Hitlist OTT Awards. When approaching the character, the actor says she purely went by producer Sujoy Ghosh’s vision. “The only brief Sujoy gave me was that Mary needs to be the woman every man wants to marry,” she begins.

Elaborating on her approach, Singh says, “Her presence needed to feel like home; my character had to have [that calming] presence and warmth. After his memory loss, Bob is falling in love with her all over again, and he doesn’t want to let go of her. That’s what I kept in the back of my mind while enacting every scene,” she recounts.
