Nusrat Faria, the gorgeous host of reality-show “Handsome: The Ultimate Man,” is currently on a tour to Cox’s Bazar to shoot for the next episode of the show. Dhaka Tribune caught up with the 21-year-old anchor and model to know about her recent ventures.
Are you planning to work in any TV play?
I have been in the industry for nearly two years now. I got a couple of offers from different directors but none of these interested me. My favourtie director is Raihan Khan. If I happen to get an offer to act in his play, I will grab it without a second thought!
What kind of role are you interested in?
I would like to play roles that are glamourous and dynamic. Usually, I like to put elements of drama and glamour in my shows so that the audience can differentiate me from other anchors. I will try the same method in my film too.
Any update on Redowan Rony’s upcoming film Morichika?
Yes, I am supposed to work in Morichika along with Tahsan Khan. But it’s still in the pre-production stage, so I cannot say much at this moment.
On your shows one can detect a mix of energy and spontaneity not often seen on air. What’s the source of this energy?
My strength is my confidence. For every show I take preparations so as to be able to impress the audience. I am not camera-shy. There’s nothing unsettling for me there. I don’t know how it happens, but the moment a camera starts to roll, I feel relaxed and confident.
Who is your childhood crush?
My childhood crush is Hrithik Roshan. Actually, I am still in my childhood (laugh). I am not too old, you know, and I still have my childhood feelings alive in my heart. I guess Hrithik will remain my life-long crush.
Which one of your shows is your personal favourite?
I host a celebrity fun show titled “Late Night Coffee” on Rtv, which is wonderful in that there’s nothing artificial or fabricated about it. But my personal favourite is the show that I host on Radio Foorti called “Night Shift with Nusrat Faria.”
Why is that?
In other shows there is always some restriction you have to abide by. You cannot say this or that, you know. Such restrictions are a hindrance to spontaneity. But in this show, I feel like I can do anything I want, play with my audience and co-anchors and guests. I have the freedom.
Do you have a dream to work with any particular Bangladeshi actor?
I have been a fan of Riaz since my childhood. These days I am working closely with him for “Handsome: The Ultimate Man.” If I ever get an opportunity to act, I will take that opportunity to romance him on the screen.
