Everyone thinks only fools win here: Sabnam Faria
Work in Dhaka’s showbiz has decreased; especially in movies, engagement of artistes and crew has decreased at an alarming rate. Despite this, some stars are always in the news.
They are at the centre of discussion and criticism not for their works, but for their various personal issues. Only a few actresses are ahead in this race.
The image of the entire showbiz is in crisis because of those actresses. Those who have made a place in the audience’s mind with good performances or are trying to make a place, are also feeling uneasy.
Actress Sabnam Faria expressed her regret in this regard. She mentioned some of her favourite actresses on Facebook, whose work is not widely discussed. Instead, people are obsessed with ‘nonsense’!
Sabnam Faria said, “Let’s name a few actresses in Bangladesh; they only act, they don’t provide unnecessary entertainment beyond that. So your interest in them is probably a little less.
The first name that comes to mind is Jaya Ahsan; she is incredibly beautiful in appearance, acting and behavior. Outside of acting, she has pets, trees, and a garden.
Those who look at bags, shoes, and watches like me, if they notice, they will see that her bag and watch collection is more beautiful than her Jamdani collection.”
Then, she mentioned the name of small screen actress Sanjida Preeti. Sabnam Faria wrote, “Before acting, I watched two TV series from the first to the last episode, one is titled ’69’ and the other is titled ‘Sporsher Baire’.
The protagonist of ‘Sporsher Baire’ is Sanjida Preeti. She can act wonderfully, at the beginning of my career; I had the opportunity to work with her for a long time in a drama series titled ‘Calling Bell’. She is very reticent. Even then, I never saw her speak unnecessarily.”
Sabnam Faria envies one of her contemporary actresses, Moushumi Hamid. She said about her, “The only actress of my generation whose acting makes me think, ‘Oh my! I wish I could act like her!’ Moushumi Hamid is an incredibly hardworking actress and her acting skills are Allah-given. She is a very playful and cheerful person.”
Then Sabnam Faria mentioned actress Nazia Haque Orsha’s name. She commented about her, “Acting is not just about dialogues, it takes a lot; Orsha Apu’s eyes speak. After Suborna (Suborna Mustafa) Apu, I saw this particular thing only in her. A few years ago, Shihab Shaheen Bhai asked her to do a drama.
There was a problem with the schedule; I couldn’t do it because it was within a specific date. Orsha Apu acted in that drama. After watching the drama, I thought, it’s good that I had a problem with the date. What Orsha Apu did in that drama, I couldn’t do justice to the character.”
Sabnam Faria also mentioned names of Bipasha Hayat, Aupee Karim, Tarin Ahmed, Afsan Ara Bindu, Rumana Rashid Ishita, Nusrat Imrose Tisha, Runa Khan, Zakia Bari Mamo, Sumaiya Shimu, Nazifa Tushi. According to her, these actresses act very well and have gained fame with their personalities.
At the end of the long post, Sabnam Faria lamented, “There are many actresses in our country who act really well, are sophisticated, and speak beautifully, other than ‘dresses cost lakhs of taka, doing odd jobs in Dubai.’ But you discuss nonsense. Everyone thinks that only nonsense wins here. It wasn’t supposed to be like this.”
