You recently went outside the country…

Tell us about “Generation Next Dot”.
Rakhi: “Generation Next Dot” is written and directed by Ejaz Munna. In the drama, I play an urban, hip youngster on whom the plot is based. There are many surprises both in the story and its making.
Are you doing any new serials?
Rakhi: I'm working on a new serial, titled “Idiots”, directed by Mustafa Kamal Raj. The first lot of shooting has already been done in Uttara. Other actors working in the serial are Hasan Masud, Siddique, Romel, Mukit, Chanchal etc. Channel 9 will air “Idiots”.
How many Eid-special plays have you done?
Rakhi: Several. I worked on Eid dramas by Tauquir Ahmed, Mahfuz Ahmed, Arif Khan and Ferdous Hasan. The drama “Mister Nudu Miss Daba” was a very funny play. I got a lot of good reviews for my Eid works.
What about modelling?
Rakhi: I modelled for a music video -- for Kona's song “Your Love”. It was shot in Sri Lanka. I freaked out after spotting a crocodile during the shoot.
