Sen's journey began not in front of the camera, but behind it. He started his career assisting the legendary filmmaker Bimal Roy in Kolkata. However, with the decline of the Bengali film industry, Sen followed Roy to Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1950. This move not only marked a geographical shift but also a career-defining one for Sen.

While initially involved in small acting roles, Sen's true calling soon became evident. He donned the director's hat for two films, "Parivar" (1956) and "Apradhi Kaun" (1957), proving his versatility. However, it was acting that truly propelled him to stardom.

Sen carved a niche for himself by portraying authority figures with a comedic twist. Often seen as a police inspector or a landlord, his humor stemmed from the stark contrast between his imposing physique and his slow, deliberate speech. This signature style, coupled with his impeccable timing, made him a scene-stealer in films throughout the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s.
