Avril steps into showbiz

Jannatul Nayeem Avril, the finalist Miss Bangladesh 2017 (who was initially crowned winner but was later disqualified), is all set to make her first foray into showbiz. The model will be seen alongside popular actor Shajal in an ntv-produced play titled “Emonoto Prem Hoy”, helmed by Junayed and scripted by Ahsan Habib Shokal.

Avril is to play a dual role in the play while Shajal is cast as a young man named Sahil. Shajal has high hopes for his co-star, saying, “The narrative is quite innovative. Avril is eager to learn and takes initiative on set.”

Avril is also enthused to work alongside Shajal. “We are already good friends, and he has been very helpful in making my performance better.”

“Emonoto Prem Hoy” also marks Shajal's return to the small screen in some time, who was last seen Tonmoy Tansen-directed film “Runout”.
