Kamal Mitra was born on 9 December 1912[2] in Burdwan. He joined the military immediately after his graduation. Hailing from the well-known Mitra family of Barddhaman, he was a keen sportsman and a good footballer. Before making his foray into acting, he had worked in the District Magistrate & Collector's Office in Barddhaman. He was an avid reader and a collector of rare books. He donated his vast collection of books to Nandan, the centre of films, film studies and film-archive, in Kolkata. He also performed in radio-plays. His autobiography, 'Flashback', provides an insight to the world of Bengali cinema. He retired from acting in the early 1980s.
