Early life

Mitra was born in Paddington, London, England, the daughter of Antony Mitra, who is a cosmetic surgeon, and Nora Downey. She has an older brother, Jason Wath Mitra, who is two years her senior, and a younger brother.¹ Her father is of Bengali and English descent, and her mother is Irish.²³ In 1984, when Mitra was eight, her parents divorced, and she was sent to boarding school. She spent several years at two different schools, including Roedean, but Mitra claims she was eventually expelled from both of them.

In 2000, Mitra had a small role in the film Hollow Man, as a neighbor assaulted by Kevin Bacon's character. She had a main role in medical drama Gideon's Crossing, as Dr. Alejandra 'Ollie' Klein.
