The year 1990 saw Roy emerging out as a bankable film star with her two back-to-back commercial successesApan Amar ApanbyTarun MajumdarandAbishkarby Salil Dutta. In both the films, she played the role of an aspiring singer, but was noted more for her role inAbishkar,where she essayed a singer who set out in a quest of her kidnapped sister-in-law.

In 1992, Roy was approached to play the role of Sathi in Sreekanta Guha Thakurta's love-triangle filmShraddhanjali(1993).[16]Initially she was hesitant to accept the role as she was required to share the screen with Debashree Roy.[12]Prosenjit Chatterjee who played Amit in the film, mediated in this regard stating that he would tackle both the actresses. The plot revolves around three characters — Amit, Sathi and Bobby. Bobby falls in love with Amit who is already betrothed to Sathi.
