Aaina's story-line, based on her own imagination and experience, depicts the travails of Kushum and her long journey to freedom. On her wedding night she has acid thrown on her and flees the country. From there she returns, full of optimism, not realising that she has lost her looks. The rest is left to the imagination. Other sub-plots are interwoven in the moving social episodic film. Kabori eventually dons the mantle of a vengeance seeking lawyer-cum-human rights activist.

Talking about the scenario of her early days in films, Kabori recalls, "It was a time when Urdu movies, even the Hollywood and Indian movies, were shown in the different talkies and actresses like Sultana Zaman, Shabnam and others from both East and West Pakistan were reigning in filmdom. At that point of time I stepped into this industry though I was totally ignorant about this highly competitive field."

"I was a student of class six and coincidentally Shubhash Dutta was looking for a teenaged girl for his new venture Shutorang. Going back to 1964, I lived in a culture-oriented family in Chittagong. For instance we used to sing bhajans with my mother in the evening, my brother used to play the tabla and sometimes along with my sisters I used to dance in different programmes. Basically I was a dancer," says Kabori.

Going down memory lane, Kabori says, " I still remember the day when Dr Kamal Khan, a renowned cultural entrepreneur of Chittagong and a friend of my father, took a few photographs of me. During the photo shoot I somehow managed to wear one of my mom's saris and climbed a tree and posed for the picture as per the character's demand. Later, Dr Kamal sent those photographs to Shubhash Dutta."

" Shubhash Da was so impressed that he asked Kamal to send me to Dhaka immediately. At first I wasn't interested at all. However, since my parents were deeply interested, I thought I would give it a try. As a newcomer in the field, I had to go through several tests like a voice test to gauge whether I could play the role in a typical Chittagong's dialect and a screen test with make-up and costumes. I went through several rehearsals of how to walk and how to lip sync. As I lived in a village, I was unfamiliar with the many aspects of city life. Also it was a sensitive period as I was in my adolescence. Finally, I overcame all the hurdles and came into the limelight of Dhaka films," adds Kabori.
