I’m never satisfied with my work: Safa Kabir

Safa Kabir has carved a space for herself in the industry with her charm and versatility over the years. The talented actress has many successful ventures to her credit, including a number of tele-fictions. Recently, her performance in the web series "Nishwas" has caught the attention of the audience.

In a candid conversation with The Daily Star, she talked about her career, philosophy, and more.

What kind of response did you get for your role in "Nishwas"?

The web series is directed by Raihan Rafi, who is a brilliant director. The audience loved the web series as well, and I have received so many messages from fans who gave their feedback. I have played the character of Sumaiya in this series, and I put all my heart into it. Overall, I am happy with the outcome.

Your debut in the 'web' world came with Shankha Dasgupta's "Boli". Tell us about your experience working in it.

"Boli" was my first ever web series. The director, cast, and crew all did a fabulous job in it. I am lucky I have worked with actors like Chanchal Chowdhury and Salahuddin Lavlu in this project.

We were shooting for 22 consecutive days, on the other side of Kuakata. The roads weren't good either. Sometimes, we had to shoot in 'char' area. Sometimes, we had to go there on foot. I had to learn to ride a horse and fire a gun. These little moments are the most memorable incidents for me. I will cherish the days of shooting for a long time.

What kind of character do you want to play from here onwards?

I want to play versatile characters in my career. I don't want to confine myself to similar roles. I want to experiment and challenge myself with different characters, that have a scope for intrinsic acting.

You co-starred with most of the top actors on television, including Apurba and Afran Nisho.

Both are my favorite artistes. I have done a lot of tele-fictions with them. The audience has taken us in a positive way too. There is so much to learn from Afran Nisho. He always brings out the best in his co-actors. On the other hand, Apurba is the best for romantic dramas.

Do you watch your work on television?

Truth be told, I feel angry when I see my own work because I am never satisfied.
