Ananya came to prominence as Ritwik Ghatak's wife in 'Meghe Dhaka Tara'.
"I often dream that I would end up essaying at least a thousand characters in life. My wish remains to project as many shades of human nature as possible.
"I wish to work with good names, not necessarily big names. The roles I hadn't portrayed so far," she said.
The actress, who was part of projects like Kaushik Ganguly's 'Laptop' and Kamaleswar Mukherjee's 'Meghe Dhaka Tara', said one can not just go by big names.
'Jodi Love Dilena Prane', directed by Abhijit uha-Sudeshna Roy, is an upcoming film set in the early '90s North Kolkata.
In 'Anyo Na', releasing tomorrow, Ananya has been paired opposite convict-turned-actor Nigel Akkara whose work in 'Muktodhara' (2012) had earned him critical acclaim.
Nigel, who has already signed three Bengali films, said, "I am experimenting with my roles and looks. I consider myself as a sponge who wants to soak the most from experienced directors and cast."
