For me, acting is not only performing on screen but working with an aim in mind. Playing such a role to create awareness against drugs might alert users of the impact of drugs. The story of Phire Esho Shundori Toma had no good ending. It showcases a practical phase of an addict. The telefilm portrays that there is no coming back from drugs. Like the drama serial Naree, it is also a social message to the audience.”
