Aruna Biswas in celebratory mood for Durga Puja

Where do you plan to celebrate Puja?
I go to my hometown, Manikganj every year during Puja. This year, I plan to be there on Nabami and Dashami. I also try to spend a day in my school, Mirzapur Bharateswari Homes. I love seeing my friends and having Malpoa peetha in my hometown.
How do you enjoy Dhaka's Puja celebration?
I enjoy roaming around different Puja mandaps in Banani, Uttara and Kalabagan. But, I like the celebrations in the Kalabagan Puja mandap the most.
What do you love the most about Puja?
I love the songs, dances and the overall festive surroundings. I grew up performing during Puja, and I start planning for the performances way before Puja arrives.
What do you miss the most during Puja?
I used to see Jatrapala with my parents when I was young, which I miss dearly. During these times, I miss my father the most.
Tell us how you started your journey in acting?
I first played the character of Durga in 1984, during Durga Puja. I feel blessed to have played that role.
