Nusraat Faria forced to ride bike to catch premiere of 'Mujib' biopic

Dhaka's traffic has been notoriously famous for getting citizens late to work. The merciless traffic didn't even spare the gorgeous Nusraat Faria, who was getting late for the special screening of her movie, "Mujib: The Making of the Nation", at SKS Tower. 

To reach the premiere on time, the actress came up with an effective strategy of deciding to ditch her car and hire a Pathao bike to reach her destination. Within 30 minutes, she arrived at the theatre and was able to experience the special screening along with the cast and showbiz celebrities there. 

In a now-deleted Instagram story, Nusraat Faria shared a picture of herself covered with a headscarf to hide her face as she rode on the bike. She captioned it, saying, "This is how I am going to the premiere show." 

The glamourous actress wore a beautiful light pink jamdani saree designed by Nabila Boutiques while Zahid Khan did her stunning makeup.  

During the premiere, Nusraat Faria shared that Friday was an extraordinary day for her. 

"A lot of things happened today. I can't believe I rode on a bike for the first time to watch the premiere of my movie. The entire road was gridlocked, so I wrapped myself in an orna to catch the movie on time. I am a little bit exhausted but I am thankful to God for everything," said the actress.

"I have watched the movie twice now, and every time I see the movie, I get emotional as I get lost in the memory line. After watching the film, I asked our honourable prime minister whether I was able to do justice to the film, and she replied that I did a wonderful job and I looked sweet in the movie. This compliment truly made my day," concluded the actress.
