A brief description on some of the Serials in which Sukanya acted.
 
    Darpachurna
“Darpachurna” was the first TV serial of Sukanya where she played “Indu”, the main role of the novel,written by the all time favorite and legendary writer Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. Still in her teens, Sukanya carried out the role of this ambitious woman who is torn between her love and ego for her husband. Her triumphant success in Darpachurna was the first step toward the public recognition.
 
    Chena Achena
“Durghatana” was one of the stories of the serial “Chena Achena” where Sukanya played the lead role. The story centers around this female character that has a mystery past and other characters are easily affected as well as dominated by her.
 
“Pujari” was another story of the serial “Chena Achena” where Sukanya played the character of a young wife of a middle aged man who has a sweet charm that attracts people. This charm does not even exclude colleagues of her husband or her ex-boyfriend with whom she had a relation before marriage.
 
    Swapner Bazaar
“Swapner Bazaar” was one of the most popular serials of the time where Sukanya played the character of an actress who gets wrongly involved with the murder of her husband. How she gets framed as a murderess by an influential person with the help of an underworld don and how she gets out of the web unscathed, was one of the main attractions of the story.
