Tell us about your film Ei Toh Prem.
I don’t know where to start, it was one of the most difficult yet enjoyable periods of my life. The shooting continued for well over three years. My role in the film demanded that I keep the same hairstyle, weight and maintain a steady appearance. Therefore, I could not change my hairstyle for three years straight.
It was demanding to say the least. The storyline is touching as it recalls the glorious Liberation War of our country. It portrays the struggle and determination of our freedom fighters.
Shohel Rahman is amazing, as a person and also as a director. I gave my best possible performance in the film, tried hard to be realistic and believable, in the end, I hope we will be able to give the audience a good movie. I am thankful for the opportunity of working in a film of this magnitude.
How was Shakib Khan as a co-worker?
Shakib Khan is a star for a reason, he is humble, talented, good-looking, and hardworking. He is everything that you expect from a successful person and more. I learned a lot about acting in the silver screen from him. He is very organised and refuses to work until everything is the way it is suppose to be. He keeps sharp tab on sequences during shooting and tries his level best to give an authentic performance every time.
Which medium do you prefer, film or TV?
I am a TV person, it is more my type of work. I enjoyed working in films, but my comfort zone lies in the work related to television.
Tell us about your dream role.
It keeps on changing. Right now, I would love to play the role Deepika Padukone played in the film Cocktail.
What about your love-life?
There is no love life, I am opting for arranged marriage. My parents are on the lookout to find a suitable man for me. You may hear my wedding bell ringing this year.
Where do you see yourself ten years from now?
I am a simple person; and I like the traditional simple lifestyle. Ten years from now, I see myself as a mother, taking my children to school. I see myself as a homemaker, like my mother and her mother before her. I see myself looking after my family and cooking for my husband.
