Yash Rohan (born 22 December 1990) is a Bangladeshi actor, model, and director.[1][2][3] He began his career in 2015 with short films which he directed and also acted in. His film debut in Swapnajaal (2018) earned praise, and he went on to gain further recognition with starring roles in Networker Baire (2021) and Poran (2022), which is one of the highest-grossing Bangladeshi films of all time.

Early life and family

Yash Rohan was born on 22 December 1990 in Dhaka, Bangladesh.[4] His father Naresh Bhuiyan is an actor and photojournalist, and mother Shilpi Sarkar Apu is a playwright and actress, best known for her work in the 1985 television drama Ei Shob Din Ratri.[5][6][7] According to Rohan, although both his parents belonged to the entertainment arena, he initially had no plans to pursue a career in acting.[7] On a television programme, he revealed that he had tremendous fascination towards physics in his childhood and aspired to be a physicist on growing up.[8]

Rohan's ancestral house is in Netrokona. He is a Hindu.[9] He has a degree in engineering from BRAC university.[10][11]

Career

Rohan directed and appeared in a short film named Doob in 2015.[12] The following year, he directed another short film, The Red Note.[2] He made his acting debut with Giasuddin Selim's Swapnajaal in 2018.[13][14][15] Fahmim Ferdous of The Daily Star noted him for "giv[ing] a fairly tight performance for a newcomer".[16] Rohan later revealed that he despised his performance in Swapnajaal and never gave a proper watch to the film, but an unexpected positive reception encouraged him to continue his work.[10] In 2018, Rohan also made a cameo appearance in Iti, Tomari Dhaka,[17][18] and featured in the web film Rupkotha (2018).[19][20]

In February 2019, two of Rohan's short films, Tea Stall and Kintu, Jodi Emon Hoto, were released, followed by the web series Gone Case.[21][22][23][24][25] The same year in September, the actor starred in Arun Chowdhury's Mayaboti opposite Nusrat Imrose Tisha.[26][27] The film was well-received by audience.[28][29]

Rohan has described his character Ratul in Networker Baire (2021) as his most favourite one.[30] The film starred an ensemble cast, including Sariful Razz, Nazia Haque Orsha and Tasnia Farin. Reviewing for The Buisness Standard, Siffat Bin Ayub named Rohan as the best performer in the film alongside Khairul Bashar.[31] Rohan gained further popularity with a starring role opposite Bidya Sinha Saha Mim in Raihan Rafi's Poran (2022), a major box-office success. He refers to it as milestone in his career.[32] A reviewer for The Daily Star, however, stated that Rohan got overshadowed by Sariful Razz in the film.[33]

In 2024, Rohan starred in two popular dramas based on the anti-discrimination students movement: Obujh Pakhi and Forget Me Not.[34][35] The former, which saw him playing a student and political activist, became a major success garnering 11 million views in a single day on YouTube.[36]

In the media

Rohan is one of the most popular young actors in Bangladeshi cinema.[3][30] He has played a variety of roles in multiple genres, but is best known for romantic characters.[37] Noting his boy next door screen persona, Antara Raisa of The Daily Star commented that he "has captivated the audience with his charming personality and sweet smile."[38]

His parents being established actors, Rohan has faced criticism in media for being a beneficiary of nepotism. The actor argues that while his parents' reputation did provide him a break in films, he "survives in the industry on [his] own merit".[39]
