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.

Shanarai Debi Shanu

Channel I is airing the drama Chobbish Ghonta. Arnnya Anwar produced and directed the drama. Shanarai Debi Shanu – the LUX channel I superstar talks about this drama:

Tell us about your role in Chobbish Ghonta

In this drama, I have my husband (Towkir Ahmed) and my child (Nirjon). The character of my husband is basically a betrayer. He told me he works a very good job but it is a lie. He actually goes around loving girls and in this way takes money from them. This is how our family goes on.

Are you working somewhere else?

Kaesar Ahmed’s Johur Alu Johru, Salauddin Labhlu’s Annondodham, Al Monsur Aladin’s Cherag, Shafikul Islam’s Chayaghat are my current projects. All these are serials. ETV’s Durer Manush and Channel I’s Sarisuri are two serials that are airing now.

LUX superstars who are your age are working for the big screens, why not you?

When I was nominated as LUX superstars, then I got an offer from Impress Telefilm. But since I am not into the scripts like that, my enrollment into cinema was not there. But I am very much interested to do so if possible. If everything is well, I will definitely do so.

I heard you are the editor of a lifestyle magazine. Hwo did you come to being an editor?

It was by chance. The people of the magazine came to me and asked me whether I will be working for a magazine which portrays fashion and glamour. I was curious and interested so I said yes.
