This is your second film with Jeet. Tell us about him.
Everyone knows Jeet as an actor. However, as an individual person, he is a good man with a good heart. He always wished me on my birthday. Not only that, he even wished me on my wedding day and talked with me after "Poran" became a hit. We share a very close bond, almost like that of family. I like this kind of quality. Keeping in touch outside the film industry proves how big a person he is!
When did you confirm everything for the film?
We were in talks for a long time. However, everything was finalised last November. I didn't want to share it with anybody before things were fully confirmed. I only shared a status about the film after coming to Kolkata for the shooting. Now, the shooting of the first lot will continue for some time. We will start a second lot of shooting next year.
Tell us about your character in "Manush".
I played the role of a police officer, Mondira, in the film. This is the first time I am doing this type of character. That's why I took a lot of time to prepare for the role. I spent a lot of time thinking about the character arc and storyline after receiving the script.
What's your favourite food in Kolkata?
I love drinking tea from the roadside tea stalls here. My mother and I really enjoyed drinking tea from these stalls. She even bought tea bags from here. I also love their fuchka and dosa.
Did you stumble across any of your fans in Kolkata?
Yes. A lot of people approached me when I was drinking tea with my mother in the roadside stalls. They asked me if I was the actress Mim. One person told me they watched me on YouTube. Overall, it was a good experience.
How positive was your 2022?
I enjoyed some of the best times of my career this year. Everyone appreciated my character in "Damal" and "Poran". I also began the journey of my married life this year, which has been going great.
Recently, I was also appointed as UNICEF's National Ambassador in Bangladesh. So, altogether, 2022 was amazing for me.
