Once regular on TV, now selective about acting

There was a time when actresses Aupee Karim, Ishita, Richi Solaiman, Srabanti and Nadia Ahmed were regular faces on television dramas. However, over the years, their career paths have taken different directions, with some stepping away from acting and others continuing to work selectively. 

Srabanti has been away from acting for several years and is now permanently settled in the United States with her children. 

Aupee Karim occasionally appears in films and television dramas. Her film “Maya: The Lost Mother” (Mayar Jonjal) was released in 2023. 

Ishita last appeared in Mizanur Rahman Aryan’s drama “Not Out” several years ago. 

Nadia Ahmed, who was previously seen in several television serials, has also been living in the United States with her husband, actor FS Nayeem, for more than a year. 

Among the five actresses, Richi Solaiman remains somewhat active in acting. She recently earned appreciation for her performance in Chayanika Chowdhury’s drama “Bhalobasar Onno Naam Tumi”. 

She has also made her big-screen debut in Rajib Salehin’s film “Robi in Dhaka”. Additionally, she has completed work on the upcoming Deepto TV serial “AI Junior”, in which she plays Tamanna. 

About her absence from television dramas, Nadia said she had visited Dhaka briefly but could not manage enough time to take on any acting assignments.

Ishita said, “I continue to receive offers for drama roles but am selective about accepting them. Having previously directed dramas, I can often anticipate how a story will unfold and prefer projects with compelling narratives rather than taking on roles for the sake of working.” 

Richi Solaiman, meanwhile, recently acted in a drama directed by Chayanika Chowdhury, which received a positive response. 

She said, “I particularly enjoy working on projects with beautiful stories. I’ve also completed a film, details of which she cannot disclose yet. Additionally, I have acted in a series titled ‘AI Junior’, which is set to air on Deepto TV soon. “
