Ziaul Faruk Apurba is one of the most popular names in the country's tele-drama world. Many artists have gained admiration from the audience after acting with Apurba. Among them, Tareen Jahan, Zakia Bari Mamo, Mehazabien Chowdhury, Tanjin Tisha, and Sabila Nur deserve special mention. Continuing this trend, the young actress Tanjim Saiyara Totini has now been added to the list.
Just after the broadcast of two tele-dramas, the Apurba-Totini pair has captured the audience's attention. Their first tele-drama titled 'Eso Haat Barao', written by Golam Sarwar Anik and directed by Md Mehedi Hasan Jonny, aired during the last Eid-al-Fitr. The drama has garnered 4.2 million views on YouTube so far.
The audience has wholeheartedly embraced the pair, fascinated by Apurba and Totini's unique performances on the small screen.
Meanwhile, the duo's other tele-drama titled 'Pothe Holo Porichoy' has also received a positive response from the audience. The tele-drama, co-written by Sohel Rana Shrabon and Jakaria Saukhin, and directed by Jakaria Saukhin, premiered on Banglavision during Eid-al-Fitr. It was subsequently released on the TV station's YouTube channel on May 18. Within a very short time, the drama has already amassed 1.8 million views.
While receiving positive feedback from the audience is not new for Apurba, Totini, who is experiencing stardom for the first time, is thoroughly enjoying the experience. In the meantime, Apurba and Totini have been busy shooting for the new tele-drama 'Rater Sheshe', directed by Sakib Raihan, over the past two days.
Apurba praised Totini, saying, "Totini's performance has been well received by the audience. She is truly a very sincere artist. If she is unsatisfied with a scene, she continues to strive for improvement. Her passion for learning acting is strong and focused. Totini has tremendous potential if she continues in this manner. Becoming the audience's favorite is also a kind of blessing."
Totini shared her experience of working with Apurba, stating, "In the beginning, I was very nervous about acting opposite such a high-profile actor. However, after working together on several tele-dramas, I am now confident that any project with him will undoubtedly be wonderful. He is very helpful in rehearsing each scene before shooting. I have learned a great deal from him, and I am still learning. This is a significant achievement for me."
