Model-turned-actor Sabnam Faria has been a force to reckon with in the country's show business. In her rather short career span, she has given a number of hit TV plays and television commercials.

She came to the spotlight through her first TVC for a Chanchur brand under the direction of Adnan Al Rajeev, and she never had to look back. Her second television commercial for a hair oil brand was also a hit.  But it was an ad for a dried spices brand that really set her career on a path, Sabnam told The Daily Star. 

After success as a model, she started getting calls for TV plays. Her first tele-film, titled “@18 - Dourer Upor” was a massive hit. After its success, she took a brief break to focus on studies and family, and only returned after completing her graduation. Her major works include Redoan Rony's “Subornopur Beshi Dure Noye”, and Mostofa Kamal Raj's “Chupichupi” and “Simin Roy Er Prothikkha”. 

Her remarkable drama serials include “House No. 44”, “Calling Bell”, “Dost Dushman”, “Jhalmuri” and “Samrat”.

“I do not want to be heroine, but an actress. I want to play all roles from rural girl to a city dweller,”, Sabnam told The Daily Star. Here dream roles are of Labonno and Haimanti from from Tagore's “Shesher Kobita” and “Haimanti” -- and Lilabati, based on Humayan Ahmed's book of the same title.
