With the trailer for Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana finally out, fans have been racing to identify every actor behind the film’s massive ensemble — and Assamese actress Surabhi Das has just cleared up one of the biggest mysteries herself. She’s not playing Urmila, as many assumed. She’s playing Shrutakirti, Sita’s youngest sister and the wife of Shatrughan in the Ramayana epic.
For Surabhi, best known for television shows like Nima Denzongpa and Pandya Store, this marks the biggest project of her career by far.

How She Landed the Role
Surabhi’s journey to Ramayana started with an audition for casting director Mukesh Chhabra. Nearly two months later — while she was mid-shoot for Pandya Store — she got the call confirming her selection, followed by look tests and costume trials before officially joining the project. She’s admitted she almost couldn’t believe she’d actually been locked in for a film of this scale, calling the experience surreal given the star power surrounding her.
From Assamese Cinema to Bollywood’s Biggest Epic
Before moving to Mumbai, Surabhi built her career in Assamese entertainment. She’s been candid about not viewing her journey as a “struggle,” pointing out that actors without industry connections simply have to keep auditioning until the right opportunity arrives. She’s also spoken about choosing to shift toward films and OTT platforms, noting television often limits actresses to repetitive character types, while streaming and cinema allow for far more varied roles.
What’s Next for Surabhi Das
Beyond Ramayana, she has two more major projects lined up — a film centered on the 1971 war where she plays a strong female lead, and director Vikas Bahl’s Dil Ka Darwaza Kholna Darling.
