==Early life==
Banerjee was born in [[Kolkata]], [[West Bengal]], India, and was her parents' only child. Her father was Upamanyu Banerjee. Her original name was Jhumjhum Banerjee, and was changed to Rachana by [[Sukhen Das]], the director of her debut film [[Daan Pratidaan]] (1993).

== Career ==
Banerjee won the Miss [[Calcutta]] contest in 1990 when she was still in her 2nd year of graduation course from South City College. She entered several beauty pageants before starting her acting career and was often declared 'Miss Beautiful Smile'. In 1992 she missed out of the Miss India contest grand finale where [[Madhu Sapre]] was crowned the coveted title. Her fame led her into films and she was spotted by [[Chidananda Dasgupta]] for his second Bengali feature film ''Amodini'' (1995). Banerjee's breakthrough role was with director Sukhen Das who changed her name to Rachana (which Das found in 'Rabindra Rachanabali'). Later she acted successfully opposite to superstars of Indian cinema including [[Amitabh Bachchan]], [[Chiranjeevi]], [[Upendra (actor)|Upendra Rao]], [[Mithun Chakraborty]], [[Siddhanta Mahapatra]], [[Prosenjit Chatterjee]] and [[Tapas Paul]]. She has appeared in 35 Bengali films with [[Prosenjit Chatterjee]], of which 32 were declared 'Superhits'. She is regarded as the first and biggest superstar of Odia film industry. Her biggest success in film career comes when she played the female lead opposite veteran megastar Prosenjit Chatterjee in about 35 movies. She was greatly influenced by Prosenjit Chatterjee and she admired Prosenjit Chatterjee, the most.
