You see a lot of this, where someone from a given ethnic origin has a "native" version of their name put on their article even if there's no citable evidence they've ever used it. Do we have a cite for this? First port of call would be the refs, second the talk page.

The article at https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2010/sep/07/radio-review-bbc-asian-... suggests that she doesn't actually speak Bengali at all...
Does she even use the Bengali spelling?

Yeah, I'm not sure I'd put their name in Bengali into the infobox at all, personally. But `other_names` certainly feels more appropriate.

Native name: is there something better to describe her name in Bengali?
It's her name in her "native" language, where "native" means "associated with the place *or circumstances* of a person's birth"; but it could as well be removed, or moved to the 'other_names' parameter
