Now, some directors and cine production companies are discussing with me for casting in their films. Hopefully, very soon, I will enrol my name as a film actor in this country.
Q: Being a model, did you get any recognition for your work?
A: Yes, I got the award from Bangladesh Cultural Reporters Association [BABISAS] as best ramp model in 2010. I also received awards such as Glamour Award, Fashion Model Award etc.
Q: If you are given opportunity to choose one from modeling and acting, what you will do?
A: Modeling is my platform. That is part of my life and I surely love it. But, I am also interested to be an actor. I think, both are equally important and may not conflict with each other.
Q: Recently you have started working as a choreographer. Tell us something about that.
A: One thing is I want to give the best of best in my work. Be it as a model or an actor or choreographer. I am very focused and attentive to my work. This is the first thing I maintain, while working in any of the fields in the entertainment industry.
Q: Who is the best source of inspiration to your work in the showbiz world?
A: My parent, especially my mom [Shefali Begum], who gives me inspirations and guidance in each of my steps in the entertainment industry. I feel so fortunate to have such supportive parents.
Q: Will you tell us about your educational life?

Q: Does modeling and acting hamper your education?
A: Not at all! I give first priority to my studies, and all others are next.
Q: Some of the Indian actors like Vidya Balan [Bidya Balan] or Paoli Dam have worked in movies like Bad Story or Chhatrak [Fungus], where both had to be nude for the sake of the role. If you ever get chance in working in movies outside Bangladesh, will you agree to become nude for the sake of role?
A: If I work in a film, I will always dedicate myself in giving the best of my performance. So, if the script of the movie will require anything, I will definitely be ready to fulfil that requirement. Both the actors you mentioned are extremely talented and they already have proved their brilliance in a number of movies. So, I see nothing wrong, when they have to give the shots as required by the script and the story.
