In a fun conversation with The Daily Star, the dashing actor opened up about his films, plans and much more.

How did you begin your modelling journey?

My modelling journey has been one hell of a ride. I had the wonderful opportunity to learn modelling under the legendary actor Afzal Hossain, and later on, got to train new models under my guidance.

What was the experience of working with Afzal Hossain and Humayun Faridi like?

Words fall short to describe their sheer talent. They are such renowned actors, that it's a major achievement to simply work with them. I still remember the wonderful acting of Faridi bhai, his mannerisms and his personae, all of which were brilliant. Afzal bhai was such a supportive actor, I will never forget the way he breathes life into his characters.

You have worked with Moushumi, Purnima, and Popy in films. Who did you enjoy working with the most?

It's really hard to mention just one of them. I have really beautiful memories with these gorgeous artistes. Moushumi apa treated me like her younger brother, while Purnima's smile was breathtaking, Popy was fantastic as well. Every one of them have been extremely sweet to me.

You have worked with Mamo and Mehazabien in TV. Did you ever fall in love with them?

No, I did not fall in love with any of these actresses. Both of them are beautiful and talented in their own ways, and I feel both of them are very dear to me.
