'''Tulsi Chakraborty''' or '''Tulsi Chakrabarti''' ({{lang-bn|তুলসী চক্রবর্তী}}; 3 March 1899 – 11 December 1961) was an Indian actor and comedian who worked in [[Cinema of West Bengal|Bengali cinema]] in the 1940s and 1950s. His most notable role could be the lead role in ''[[Parash Pathar]]'', directed by [[Satyajit Ray]].

==Childhood==
Chakraborty was born on 3 March 1899 in the small village called Goari. His father, Ashutosh Chakraborty, was an employee of the [[Indian Railways]] and the family had to move around various places in undivided [[Bengal]]. So, young Tulsi had to spend a lot of time in [[Kolkata|Calcutta]] staying with his paternal uncle Prasad Chakraborty, the elder brother of Asutosh Chakraborty. Prasadbabu was a talented tabla and harmonium player who was an employee of the renowned [[Star Theatre, Kolkata|Star Theatre]], the legendary Bengali commercial theatre stage and production company. He had a small group of musicians who used to play live background music during theatrical performances. It was through his uncle's contacts that Tulsi was able to watch the finest actors of the generation at work and this fostered his own ambitions to become a singer-actor. Before launching in theatre, Tulsi Chakraborty engaged himself in a number of odd-jobs, starting from dish-washer in a small [[North Kolkata|North Calcutta]] eatery to working as a clown in a circus in Burma (now [[Myanmar]]). In films, he started with character roles before performing as a comedian. He was known for his realistic acting. He never used any make-up or extra arrangements. Usually, he was clad in a white dhoti accompanied by a sacred thread on his shoulder.

==Career==
One of Chakraborty's notable performances was in ''[[Sharey Chuattor]]'', which was the debut film of the popular pair of [[Cinema of Bangladesh|Bengali cinema]]: [[Suchitra Sen]] and [[Uttam Kumar]]. In ''[[Parash Pathar]]'' directed by [[Satyajit Ray]], he acted in the lead role of Paresh Dutta. He unleashed memorable roles in [[Uttam Kumar]]-[[Suchitra Sen]] starrers ''[[Ekti Raat]]'' and ''[[Chaowa Pawa (1959 film)|Chaowa Pawa]]''. In both these films, Chakraborty played a sceptical inn owner; in the latter, he teamed up with Rajlakshmi Devi. He also had a small role that of a village ''pandit'' cum grocer in ''[[Pather Panchali]]''. Ray once remarked that if Chakraborty has been born in the United States, he would have been awarded an [[Academy Awards|Oscar]] for his acting.

He died on 11 December 1961.
