Television news anchor -turned actress Shabnam Bubly is a new face on celluloid with two films behind her. Bubly made her debut in “Bossgiri,” before turning to another production titled “Shooter.” The actress is also pursuing her MBA at Dhaka University.

Bubly also stands out for being the sole actress who has debuted two films at the same time during their release on Eid ul Azha. In both films she starred alongside Shakib Khan. “I have thoroughly enjoyed working in both the films,” said Bubly.

After the release of “Bossgiri,” she attended its premiere at Chompakoli Cinema Hall in Tongi. The actress expressed her desire to watch the film with regular theatre goers, as opposed to upscale cinema halls such as Star Cineplex and Jamuna Blockbuster.

“Bossgiri” met with great success and Bubly received much praise for her role, a character also named Bubly. “I attended the premiere in a burkha, so that the audience would not recognise me,” she said.

As for the future, the actress says she wants to be more selective about her roles and act in films that appeal to the audience, as well as boost her career. “'Bossgiri' has garnered a lot of praise. I want to maintain that reputation and will focus on quality, instead of quantity,” quipped the actress.

Shakib Khan will rejoin her on the sets for “Ohonkaar” in the first week of January. The film will be directed by Shahadat Hossain Liton. The actress has also signed on to work for another film titled “Ma.”

Bubly cites Shabnoor, Salman Shah, Zafar Iqbal and Shakib Khan as her idols. She also has great admiration for Nayak Raj Razzak.
