The Bangla calendar has turned a new year and bidding goodbye to 1431, we welcome 1432, bringing with it fresh energy, renewed hopes, and a collective dream of new beginnings.
For Jaya, the Bengali New Year holds deep personal significance. “Pahela Baishakh is a special day for us — a day of celebration and joy,” she said.
Her statement came in response to a disturbing news report about a bear being kept in poor conditions at the mini zoo in Zainul Abedin Park, Mymensingh.
After more than a decade, the iconic American TV series “MacGyver” has made a comeback on BTV, now with a fresh Bengali dubbing. The series, which gained immense popularity in Bangladesh during the 1990s, returns with improved voice work aimed at engaging a new generation of viewers.
For the first time, Jaya Ahsan is featured in any Bangladeshi web series, that too during the Eid festival. Such occasions made her festival even more special. The “Jimmi” actress shared how she spent her Eid day.
As Eid-ul-Fitr continues to be celebrated today, social media is buzzing with festive greetings. Celebrities from both film and television have also shared their warm wishes with fans. Let’s take a glimpse at how the stars are marking the occasion.
Renowned actress Jaya Ahsan has once again extended her support to the Pranicool Animal Wellness Center. Recently, the organisation sent her a letter requesting a donation as Eidi for the animals in need, to which she responded sincerely.
Shooting for “Tandob”, directed by Raihan Rafi, has commenced this week at the Bangladesh Film Development Corporation (BFDC). Actors Shakib Khan and Jaya Ahsan have already joined the production.
With the trailer now out, the excitement surrounding "Jimmi" is at an all-time high. The series is set to premiere exclusively on Hoichoi on March 28, adding to the thrill of this Eid season.
Jaya Ahsan continues on to push boundaries with her acting in both India and Bangladesh with her unique choice in roles. Recently, the actress released her movie “Nakshi Kanthar Jamin”, and is also busy shooting for her first Bangladeshi web series ‘Jimmi’.
Rising star Dibya Jyoti has quickly made a name for himself in the hit web-series “Mohanagar 2”, solidifying his place among the new generation of actors. The skilled artiste is the son of celebrated playwright Brindaban Das and acclaimed actress Shahnaz Khushi.
Jaya has always been known for her love of animals. She’s vocal about the issues affecting them, and this time was no different. On Monday (December 30), she posted a long message on social media, shedding light on how New Year’s celebrations indirectly cause harm to animals. In her post, she reminded us that we, as humans, are partly responsible for these deaths, even if unintentionally. Along with her message, Jaya also shared a thoughtful video to raise awareness.
The month of December typically witnesses a surge in films based on the Liberation War, but this year has been an exception. However, as the year draws to a close, a Liberation War-themed film is making its mark. “Nakshi Kathar Zamin” hits cinemas across the country today.
Celebrities, supporters, and journalists gathered to watch the actress’ debut film on the big screen.
As the year comes to a close, several films are set for theatrical release, with “Nakshikanthar Zamin” (“A Tale of Two Sisters”), directed by Akram Khan, scheduled to premiere on December 27.
The Suman Mukhopadhyay directorial film “Putulnacher Itikatha” also known as “The Puppet’s Tale” is set to compete at the Big Screen Compilation line-up at the 54th International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR).
Bangladesh emerged as a sovereign state on December 16, 1971, following a nine-month-long Liberation War. This year, the nation celebrates Victory Day with renewed fervour, especially after the fall of Sheikh Hasina’s regime on August 5, 2024.
The film won an award at the Bengaluru International Film Festival, and was also nominated for the ICFT–UNESCO Gandhi Medal at India’s 53rd International Film Festival. "The recognition ‘Nakshikanthar Zamin’ has received abroad is a significant achievement for this film,” remarks Jaya.
Actress Jaya Ahsan, who has already made a significant mark on India’s OTT platforms, is now set to venture into Bangladeshi web series with her debut project, “Jimmi.”
