Unfolding tales untold

Sazu Khadem, actor

We were once shooting for a TV play, and I had high fever. I was working with Suborna Mustafa and Humayun Faridi. As I was working, somehow Humayun Faridi realised I had fever and asked me why was I working? So I said I will be alright and in return he said, “Never work with two things - fever and a runny tummy” (laughs). 

Another time, I remember Farzana Chhobi and I were in a shoot at Munshiganj and the scene was a romantic scene in a pond. So while doing the scene, suddenly we started sinking into the water and people at the set though we were still acting. Although it was a horrid experience for both of us, it was amusing in retrospect how others thought we were acting it out.
