Deepa Khandakar on silver jubilee of media journey

Sheikh Arif Bulbon :
Popular TV actress Deepa Khandakar’s ‘silver jubilee’ of media journey is successfully passing from audience
to audience.
Hailed from Narayanganj, Deepa’s journey in the media began in 1998 when she performed as a model in the advertisement of ‘Lipton Fresh Tea’. Later, in June 1999, she acted professionally in a series of 13 episodes titled ‘Kaktarua’ written and directed by Kazi Shahedul Islam.
By acting in this serial, Deepa began her professional acting journey. After the five episodes of ‘Kaktarua’ aired, she made a response to the audience. Afzal Hossain, Toni Dayes, Imdadul Haque Milon and many other producers of BTV praised her performance at that time.
However, Deepa started working as an air hostage in GMG Airlines in April 1999 before the drama aired. However, after two years she had to be released from the airline’s job due to getting busy with acting. After that, Deepa’s life was just a walk with acting.
Deepa Khandakar has turned herself into an actress loved by the audience by acting in many popular dramas. She joined Azad Abul Kalam’s ‘Prachyanat School of Acting’ for some time to learn acting. After many years of acting career, she acted in the first movie ‘Bhaijaan.’ After that she acted in several other movies.
Deepa performed as a model for the first time in music video of a song rendered by Pancham under the direction of Ringo.
Deepa informed that her father Khandakar Sultan Uddin died in 1987. Her mother Juthika Akhtar worked in an NGO. She has made her children human through many hardships. Deepa married actor Shahed Ali in 2006. They have one boy and one girl.
Coming to the silver jubilee of the media walk, Deepa Khandakar expressed her feelings to this correspondent, “It really seems like 25 years have passed in the blink of an eye. How many hundreds of memories are crowding in front of the eyes today. I am most grateful to Kazi Shahedul Islam Bhai for my acting career. It can be said that he took me from one place and involved me in acting. But I had no idea about the world of acting. I have gratitude to my great aunt freedom-fighter Farida Akhtar, and also gratitude to my elder sister Rupa. I have also thanks to all my producers, directors, co-artists, journalists and above all the audience. With everyone’s support and inspiration, I am today’s Deepa.”
Deepa’s best friend in the media is Tanvin Sweety. Farzana Hosein Munna is her best friend outside the media, the actress mentioned.
