Sharmin Lucky is one of the best in the field of voice-over art in Bangladesh. She is recognised as a successful anchor and model. Lucky never tries to come into limelight through acting in any television play or film despite her huge demand. Recently Dhaka Tribune caught up with the travel, food and music connoisseur to learn about her works, beauty secrets and many more.
How and when did you grow your interest on jingles and voice-overs?
I am enthusiastic about recitation from my student life. And listening to other notable artists on this field I cherished the aspiration to do like them.
You seem utterly confident and spontaneous in front of camera then why are you reluctant to appear on television plays?
Then who will do these jingles and voice-overs (laugh)? Actually I think tv plays demand more involvement and time than my present line of work. Once I grew interested in stage play but somehow that did not materialise and later I did not give a second thought on it again.
What is the source of your energy as we can see a mix of energy and spontaneity on your show?
If one person can possess inner peace, then it will be his/her strongest power. A peaceful and happy mind is the prerequisite to do my job. For me, a happy mind is that kind of state when I will be able to think that I am pleased what God has offered me.
What is your favourite television show and which one of your shows is the personal favourite?
I love to watch culinary show from the Travel and Living Channel. I love to watch shows on travel, food, music, people and country at home and abroad.
Apart from my anchoring, it is obviously the “Siddika Kabir’s Recipe.” Then a 26-episode non-fiction titled “Chandrabindu” created by Nurul Alam Atique on 26 different topics. And later “Lux Bridal,” “Apnar Agami”. “Gaan O Fun with Shafin Ahmed” is my personal favourite.
Do you have any plan to bring a show on television with your own idea?
I developed two ideas of tv shows over the last four years. One of the shows is on our rivers and another on Dhaka city. Unfortunately, none of them came to light.
I heard you are a vegetarian. Is there any relation between food habit and beauty?
Actually I am a fishetarian. I try to explore organic food as we see most of our available food items in the city either chemical-treated or having one ingredient overly. Probably there is a relation between food habit and beauty. However, I think beauty relies on the frame of a person’s mind.
What is the secret of your beauty?
I have a theory on beauty that when anyone tries to create trouble and criticises others, eventually he/she gets distorted beauty. Everyone should appreciate each other to have a beautiful face.
And apart from the abstract theory, I do take an ayurvedic facial every month and also apply a high-quality moister night-cream every day before going to bed.
