Koena
Mitra,
started
modelling
at
a
very
young
age,
right
when
she
was
in
school,
and
was
the
cameraman's
delight
as
she
looked
spectacular
in
every
picture.
In
the
year
2001,
she
bagged
the
beauty
pageant,
Gladrags
Mega
Model
India.
Koena
became
the
talk
of
the
town
and
one
of
the
most
sought-after
models.

Right
after
winning
the
Gladrags
Mega
Model
India
in
2001,
she
became
one
of
the
top
12
semifinalists
of
Miss
Intercontinental
Pageant
in
Germany,
out
of
84
countries.
Being
at
No.
12
in
the
competition
with
84
women
from
other
countries
is
a
huge
achievement,
by
itself.
Koena
Mitra,
also
walked
the
ramp
in
many
fashion
shows
in
Milan
and
Beijing.
Looking
at
the
modelling
success
of
Koena
Mitra,
big
brands
such
as
Clinic
All
Clear,
Maruti
Alto
and
several
beauty
brands
contacted
her
to
advertise
their
products,
and
she
was
seen
in
various
commercials.
With
her
career
growing
by
the
day,
film-maker
Ram
Gopal
Varma
contacted
her
to
feature
in
an
item
number
for
the
movie,
Road,
starring
Vivek
Oberoi
and
Antara
Mali.
In
the
year
2004,
Koena
Mitra
debuted
in
Bollywood
through
the
film,
Musafir,
starring
Sanjay
Dutt,
Anil
Kapoor
and
Sameera
Reddy.
The
success
sounds
like
a
dream
isn't
it?
Unfortunately
not!
After
starring
in
a
few
more
B-town
flicks,
Koena
Mitra's
career
came
tumbling
down
in
an
instant,
all
thanks
to
her
infamous
'nose
job'.
She
underwent
a
nose
surgery
which
went
horribly
wrong
as
the
surgery
caused
her
bones
to
swell
up.
Because
of
this,
she
had
to
stay
at
home
for
six
months
and
didn't
make
any
public
appearances.
Right
after
her
nose
job
episode,
she
was
not
offered
roles
in
movies,
and
thus
disappeared
slowly
from
the
industry.
However,
we're
still
hopeful
that
someday
Koena
Mitra
will
make
a
comeback
in
Bollywood
and
set
the
ball
rolling!
