3rd of November may seem like just another date on your calendar, But for avid fans of Bangla cinema, it’s a day to celebrate the birthday of one of the most popular and beloved actresses, singer, director, editor, and who knows what other career she’d want to pursue in the future. If after this you’re thinking of Moushumi, then you are correct.
Moushumi started her journey into the entertainment industry after winning the “Ananda Bichitra Photo Beauty” Contest in the early ’90s. And immediately after that, she received offers after offers for Numerous Ads and feature films. In 1993 she finally made her debut with the film Keyamat Theke Keyamat which was an official remake of the Hindi film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak.
With this, her fame and accolades began to spread across Dhaliwood. In her almost Three Decades-long career, she has been affiliated with over 150 projects. Some as an actress, some as a director, and some as an activist.
She won a “Bangladesh National Film Awards” as the best actress for Meghla Akash in 2001 and for Devdas in 2013. She also made a huge impact through other movies like Molla Barir Bou, Golapi Ekhon Bilatey, Projapoti, and Ek Cup Cha, which won her four Meril Prothom Alo Awards.
She made her directorial debut in 2003 with the film Kokhono Megh Kokhono Brishti opposite Ferdous Ahmed. She runs the production house, Kopotakhsma Cholochitra and is associated with Projapoti Cholochitra.
In 2018, she embarked on a new journey when she decided to become the editor of an online news portal yesnewsbd.com and again in 2021, the editor of the weekly magazine “Vision 2021”.
Apart from all her media and film-related ventures, She also prides herself to be an activist. She is the head of her own charity foundation, “Moushumi Welfare Foundation”. In September 2013, Moushimi was named a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Children’s Fund.
With every step she takes and every move she makes, she never fails to mesmerize her audience. Moushumi’s achievements are not just a reflection of her hard work, but also the accumulation of years of experience she has gathered along the way.
Moushumi is truly an inspirational figure for women all over Bangladesh. She proves time and time again that you should never settle for being good at only one thing. If you ever feel the need for some self-motivation for life, relationships, or career, just follow her on Instagram.
This almost makes “wishing her the best for her Birthday” not good enough. But as her awestruck fans, we can only hope that she always keeps on shinning her light on others with her aura.
