I dedicate this award to Iresh Zaker and Ome: Saraf Ahmed Zibon

Director-turned-actor Saraf Ahmed Zibon, celebrated for his comedic performances, has added another accolade to his career. He won Best Supporting Actor (Male) in the Popular Category at the Blender's Choice–The Daily Star OTT & Digital Content Awards 2024 for his role in Kajal Arefin Ome's web-film "Osomoy'.

Known for his witty humour, Zibon delivered a lighthearted acceptance speech that delighted the audience. He recalled the innovative teaser of his directorial debut "Chokkor 302", where Mosharraf Karim told him he could not act.

"I really don't know how to act. These are not my words but Mosharraf Karim's," Zibon laughed, adding, "However, I don't know how but the audience still watches my work and appreciates it, which, again, are his words, not mine."

Zibon also acknowledged his co-star and fellow nominee Iresh Zaker, whose comic pairing with him in "Osomoy" was especially loved by fans. "I want to dedicate this award to Iresh Zaker and Kajal Arefin Ome," he said.
