Stepped away for the lack of good scripts: Safa Kabir
"I am grateful to Tareq Rahman for being so considerate on my first fiction," said Safa Kabir on a television interview. Of course, she was referring to MD Habibur Rahman Tareq from Runout Films. Immediately, the internet was quick to misread the statement.
"I was so naive when I was about to do my first project," said Safa Kabir, who has meanwhile completed a decade in the entertainment industry. "I said to him over the phone that I'll think about it. He was incredibly kind and gave me time. Honestly, without the team of Runout, mainly Adnan Al Rajeev, there would have been no such thing as a media career for me," said the reflective actress.

"I have worked so hard, irrespective of if it was day or night, for every project that I've been in. However, I feel extremely disappointed when I'm overlooked in award programmes, especially in nominations. It's particularly unfair when your fictions boast so much popularity, but organisers overlook you.
Despite that, the actress soldiers on. She now refuses to partake in sub-par scripts. "I used to say yes to whichever script was handed to me at one point, but I won't do that anymore," says a stern Safa Kabir.
The actress, who debuted aged 18 years, has clearly shifted her vision to doing more quality projects. "I'm set to star in two OTT projects, which will be announced soon. However, she maintains that it will take strong scripts to bring her back to the television screen. "I've done so many television projects that every other new one seems like a repetition or a continuation of a previous one. I'm waiting for something new, that can pull me back to television. In all honesty, I stepped away for the lack of it."
Safa Kabir's recent works, "Love Buzz" and "Keno Ei Shongota", has earned praise from the audience, earning an accumulated 30 million views.
