While the actress didn't directly confirm if she's stepping away from acting or reveal her future plans — she hinted that she now wants to give newcomers the opportunity to showcase their talents.

Regarding the drama "Probashir Stree", Ahona said, "This project is based on a true story. The story is familiar to all of us. This drama has reached five million views, but if we count both before and after its re-upload, in reality, over 10 million people have already watched it."
