In 1981, Sanghamitra was approached by Umanath Bhattacharya to play a pivotal role in his directorial venture, Ashililatar Daye. Dance, especially Kaththak, was her grand passion, and she dreamt of becoming an acclaimed classical dancer.

However, she had no intention of becoming a professional actress. The song ‘Bedhechi Veena Gaan Shonabo Tomaye’ set to tune by Rahul Dev Burman, sung by the renowned classical singer Begum Parveen Sultana and picturized on Sanghamitra had gained immense popularity. Thus, Sanghamitra was the last actress who was launched by Uttam Kumar. While she was a student of University of Calcutta, in 1979, Sanghamitra was selected by Uttam Kumar, the legendary actor, who cast her in his last directorial venture, ' Kalankini Kankabati' which was released in August 1981. In 1981, Sanghamitra represented India in South-East Asia in 1981 at a conference of classical dance organized by UNESCO. She was also an accomplished classical dancer who received her training from the likes of Thankomani Kutti (Bharatnatyam), Nataraj Parimal Krishna, and Bela Arnab (Kaththak), and Ramgopal Bhattacharya (Creative Dance). She had also obtained a Diploma in Classical Dance from Prayag Sangeet Samiti of Allahabad, a Teaching Diploma in Classical Dance from Tokyo, Japan, and a Diploma in Bengali Literature from Nikhil Banga Sahitya Parishad.
She earned her Master of Arts degree in Sanskrit Literature from Calcutta University. She later joined the Presidency College where she obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree with Honours in Sanskrit Literature. Sanghamitra’s formal education began at ‘Adi Mahakali Pathsala’, a distinguished school in North Kolkata founded by Mataji Gangabai. His elder brother Madhusudan Mukherjee owned renowned firms like ‘The Ghosh Brothers Perfumers’, ‘Nirjas’, ‘Keshut’ and ‘Imuno Chemicals’. Subhash Kumar was a pioneer in the field of perfumery. Sanghamitra was born on 8 August 1956 in Benares to Subhash Kumar Mukherjee (1927-2012), a noted entrepreneur and footballer, and Bulbul Mukherjee (1934-1990).
