The vigor surrounding the election of the Film Artistes’ Association has flared up once again. The conflict between the current President Misha Sawdagar, General Secretary Dipjol, and the former General Secretary Nipun, has now reached a peak.
Monowar Hossain Dipjol, the newly elected general secretary of the BFAA committee, has addressed the matter today, providing his perspective on the issue.
Two years ago, when she contested against actor Zayed Khan, expressing dissatisfaction with the election proceedings, she went to court and won the case against Zayed.
The writ seeks to halt the freshly appointed committee led by the Misha Sawdagar and Monowar Hossain Dipjol panel, who emerged victorious in the BFAA election held on April 19. On Wednesday, May 15, the writ application was submitted to the High Court bench comprising justices Naima Haider and Kazi Jinat Haque.
After the announcement of the results, Nipun gracefully accepted the newly elected president and general secretary. However, her sudden move seeking the annulment of the current committee sparks further controversy and confusion regarding her stance.
Misha Sawdagar has been elected as the new president of the Film Artistes Association for the term 2024-2026, while Monowar Hossain Dipjol secured the position of general secretary.
The Bangladesh Film Artistes' Association (BFAA) is poised for its biennial election today, with 571 voters set to cast their ballots. Amongst them, 50 are new voters, reflecting a potential shift in the association's dynamics. This follows the landmark decision in the previous election where the Ilias Kanchan-Nipun Akter panel secured victory and reinstated voting rights to 103 previously excluded artistes, signaling winds of change within the association.
Bangladesh Film Artistes' Association (BFAA) election is scheduled to take place tomorrow, where two influential panels are competing for leadership for its 2024-26 session.
After much anticipation, the date of the Bangladesh Film Artistes Association (BFAA) election has been announced. According to the Chief Election Commissioner Khorshed Alam Khosru of BFAA, the election will take place on April 19.
Rumors were circulating that Ananta Jalil and actress Nipun Akter were contenders for the positions of president and general secretary, respectively, in the Bangladesh Film Artistes Association (BFAA) elections for the term 2024-26.
Zayed Khan's membership in the Bangladesh Film Artists Association has been revoked by the current committee during the bi-general meeting of the organisation held on Saturday (March 2).
Last year, Imtiaz Barshon and Nipun Akter acted together for the first time. They were seen in the web film "Opolap" and their pairing was well-received by the audience. Nipun herself was mesmerised by Imtiaz Barshon's acting. In "Opolap", they were seen portraying a modern urban married couple. Nipun was depicted as falling in love with someone else while Barshon's character became a murder victim in the storyline — which captivated the audience.
Meanwhile, it has also been confirmed that Dipjol will contest from a separate panel.
Upon the ruling Awami League commencing the sale of nomination forms for the reserved seats for women in parliament today, numerous celebrities from the entertainment industry have purchased their nomination forms for their respective constituencies.
Noted, in the election held on January 28, 2022, for the term 2022-2024 of the Film Artistes Association, Ilias Kanchan was elected as the President, and Nipun Akter was elected as the General Secretary.
While talking about her OTT debut, Nipun shared that she played a complex character, who experiences many crises revolving around doubt and betrayal. This family crime drama started streaming from yesterday on OTT platform Deepto Play.
Centred on themes of suspicion, conflict and crime, "Opolap" portrays the tale of Arko, a psychiatrist, who is arrested for the murder of his wife Shumi.
Nipun will work on the team's publicity.
Finally, the actress revealed the secret behind her attractive attire. Nipun attended the grand launching event of Channel i's new OTT platform, iScreen where she answered this question to the media.
