Which Eid drama are you shooting in Pubail?

I am shooting for a drama called "Arai Talaq", which is being directed by Sakal Ahmed. "Arai Talaq" is a rural-based drama. The story follows the lives of the people of the village. In the project, everything comes to a sudden standstill, including the life of me and my wife. It's a very entertaining story. This is one of the few dramas I have done for Eid.

Could you tell us about your character in the drama?

Here, I play the role of a member of the village. I have enjoyed playing the character. As an artiste, I always try to blend in with my roles. This also happened with this character. I hope the audience will enjoy my role in "Arai Talaq".

As a child, you spent a few years in Barishal, after which you came to Dhaka and worked in theatre. Do you ever miss the life you left behind?

I do miss the life I left behind and I think about it quite often. There is a river near my old house in Barishal. As a child, I would bathe in that river, swim in it and spend many hours in the water. I miss all of that. After coming to Dhaka, I spent many years in theatre. I miss those days as well.
