Tell us about your current activities.
I pay more attention to my theatrical activities. I am directing a stage play for Shobochan Nattya Goshthi. I also regularly perform in the play Ratktokarobi, a Nagarik production. Moreover, I act in a few TV plays.

Do you believe in fate?
I cannot undermine the role of fate. Though sometimes we may claim that we do not believe in fate, in a crisis interestingly we blame fate.

Who is your ideal heroine?
Definitely, Suchitra Sen. Whenever, I watch her movies I set my image beside her instead of Uttam Kumar.

How do you view love in the past and present?
I am traditional when it comes to love. In my mind anything that is easily acquired loses its beauty and thus becomes transient. These days, I think, love is an easier proposition. In our days, we had to put in an extra effort to draw the partners. Today, the younger generation doesn't have to struggle as much.

What are the reasons behind it?
There could be many reasons -- lack of the morality and stability of society and obviously advancement of science.

How does science have an adverse impact on love?
Science has made everything easier and faster. As a result the younger generation is missing the real charm of love. In our days, we waited for a love letter or a red rose or tried to fix a date to meet our beloved. The real taste of love belongs to that waiting, tension and efforts. But, through internet and mobiles the present generation can communicate with each other 24-hours a day without much struggle. This is one of the main causes behind couples rapidly losing their attraction for one another. Love has now become mechanical without much emotion.

What frustrates you?
I cannot perform the role of Romeo with the performers of this generation.

Tell us about your interesting experiences in the course of your career.
In my early years in Tangail, one of my friends was my co-actor in a stage show. He had to deliver only a small dialogue Ei Kam Ami Parum Na but during the show, saying Ami Agei Koichhilam Ei Kam Ami Parum Na, he left the stage without continuing his performance. I remained spellbound for sometime before I could think of what to do next. But this experience helps me a lot these days when my co-actors miss the cues. To recount another memorable incident: while shooting for a TV play, my co- performer was a model-actress. Her mother told the producer that she would not allow anybody to touch her daughter in a romantic scene. So we had to complete the play with only close-up shots while standing at a distance.
