Today marks the birthday of Dhallywood's much-loved actress Shobnom Yesmin Bubly. She spoke to The Daily Star about her birthday celebration with her and Shakib Khan's son Shehzad Khan Bir.

I used to like the previous team of Brazil.  Whether I am free or shooting, I will surely try to watch the matches.
