Shilpi Mahalanobish (SM): What are you doing at present?

Aupee Karim (AK): I am busy with my studies right now. I am working on my thesis and have hardly any time for any other involvement other than acting. But, I shall be acting in Chaynika Chaudhury's drama soon.

SM: Will you be appearing in more films like 'Bachelor' in future?

AK: Yes of course! Why won't I take part in good films? I think our directors have already understood my taste. I acted in 'Bachelor', without any mental pressure, as my university was closed during then.

SM: You could have created your image as a dancer. Why did not you establish yourself in that?

AK: One needs a lot of practice to become a good dancer. Besides, one has to do a lot of rehearsals before any programme. As I have to give time to my studies, it becomes impossible for me to spend any more time for dance practises. That is why I have concentrated on acting. On the other hand, the art of dance is not yet given much of an importance in our country.

SM: Has Lux Anondodhara turned out to be A plus point for you?

AK: Obviously! I have to admit that Anondodhara has put me in the cover story of their 1st issue. That was the turning point in my career by which the media introduced me to the public.

SM: You have gained a lot of experience so far; any chance of coming to the direction side?

AK: Actually, I was pretty much interested in the beginning. But now, I am skeptical about this hidden desire of mine. I will follow it up later.

SM: What would you choose: architecture or acting?

AK: I would like to establish myself as an architect first.

SM: Any thoughts of getting married?

AK: I am not thinking about this at the moment. After completion of education the right decision will come at the right moment!
