Rumana Malik Munmun
Apprehensive under the glare of the spotlight, she took a deep breath to ease the tension and anxiety that had taken hold of her. And why not? It was only natural for a five-year-old girl to be nervous as she spoke to millions of viewers with the camera hovering above her.
That very same girl, Rumana Malik Munmun now has a confident, smiling persona. Anchoring, acting, organising, whichever arena you consider, Munmun has made it big.
Although she had appeared in advertisements, acted in the film “Chhana O Muktijodho”, by Anwara Syed Haq, and directed by Badol Rahman when she had just entered her teens, or been in countless dramas, she first caught the public eye in 2006 through Lux-Channel i Superstar. “After that year, for three consecutive years I was involved with this show, not as a participator but as an organiser,” she recalled.
After that milestone, there was no stopping Munmun. Suddenly she was a conspicuous face on almost every channel, either acting or anchoring. In an interview, she said, ” There is no shortcut to accomplishment. One has to work hard consistently and continue to learn during that process.” And she proved it with TV plays like “Dainik Tolpar”, her first TV play (after participating in Lux Channel-i Superstar), “Batasher Khancha” written by Dr. Muhammad Zafar Iqbal and others.
