The journey from Miss World Bangladesh to showbiz marks the transition for beautiful actress Jannatul Ferdous Oishee. She struggled hard to pave her way into the world of pageantry, but then slowly made her way into films with two back-to -back productions "Mission Extreme" and "Raat Jaga Phul", which will be released in December.

In a conversation with The Daily Star, the actress opened up about her challenges in acting, upcoming ventures, and why she doesn't have a Facebook account.

"Mission Extreme" and "Raat Jaga Phul" will release in December. Are you excited?

I am really excited and nervous about the release of both the movies. I started my journey through beauty pageants and I have no prior experience in acting.

People started offering me films due to my popularity at the time. As both of the movies will be releasing in December, people will finally be able to judge my acting talent.

Acting requires a lot of passion and hard work. If, by any chance, people feel that my acting in "Mission Extreme" is not that good, they will surely be able to identify my growth as an actress in "Raat Jaga Phul".

How was it working with Arifin Shuvoo in "Mission Extreme" and "Noor"?

I really couldn't have asked for a better co-artiste in my debut film. He is really supportive and I got to learn a lot from him.

How are your characters in "Mission Extreme" and "Raat Jaga Phul" different from each other?

For starters, I would like to mention that I don't play police in Mission Extreme. My character is a strong independent woman who is really sweet and down to earth. Due to some chance encounter, she gets personally and professionally connected to the mission.

On the other hand, in "Raat Jaga Phul", I play this energetic and bubbly little girl who is curious about everything.

How was the experience of working with Fazlur Rahman Babu in "Raat Jaga Phul"?

It was a wonderful experience to work with such a talented artiste. Unfortunately, I didn't get to shoot much scenes with him. In one scene, lines on my forehead started to appear unconsciously, and Babu sir fixed it for me. He is not only an incomparable actor, but very friendly to work with.

What are your upcoming projects?

Both "Noor" and "Adom" will release next year. In "Adom", I will be acting opposite Yash Rohan. I will be playing an 80's rural girl, and for that, my appearance was changed drastically with the help of makeup.

What happened to your Facebook account?

Earlier on, I did have a Facebook account, but it got hacked twice so I decided to only interact with my fans through my verified page.
