This was a big boost to Bindu’s confidence, which she projected in performances in “Jaago” and “Piriter Agun Jole Digun”. Bindu’s latest film “Ei Toh Prem” awaits release. In the Sohel Arman directed movie, Bindu stars opposite famed moviestar Shakib Khan. A song from the film, sung by Habib and Nancy, “Ami Tomar Mon-er Bhetor Ekbar Ghure Ashtey Chai”, is already a superhit. Bindu says her close friends sing the song to her whenever they meet, much to her delight.
In “Ei Toh Prem”, the actress plays the role of Madhobi — daughter of a rural temple priest who loves to dance. The character played by Shakib falls for the village belle, which leads to a conflict between families. Eighty percent of work on the film is already done, Bindu says, expressing her optimism about the movie being well received by the audience. Bindu also cherishes the hope of acting in a Liberation War-themed movie.
Bindu has not lagged behind in the TV media as well. The lead role in the ATN Bangla serial, “Lilaboti”, has brought her much fame. Some of the other serials featuring her currently being aired are “Patigonit”, “Dhupchhaya” and “Rupnogorer Konya”.
Bindu says she wants to make a permanent place in the hearts of the audience, and the only route is cinema. Though she admits that she has not received formal training in dance or acting, she is determined to forge ahead.
Asked what her ambition was as a child, Bindu says at one stage she wanted to sell peanuts on the streets, shouting “Badaam, badaam,” and had many other crazy ideas when she was a kid.
Last Eid, the TV audience enjoyed several of Bindu’s works including Himel Ashraf’s “Premer Naam Bedona”, Lutfun Nahar Moushumi’s “Chhoto Bela”, Mohon Khan’s “Patro Chai Na”, Iftekhar Ahmed Fahmi’s “Breaking News” and Shejuti Nasir’s “Prothom Dekha”.
Bindu asserts that she has a packed schedule ahead. Talks are also underway for a role in Anurag Basu’s forthcoming film.
