Film Artistes’ Association celebrates birthday of ‘Mishti meye’ Kabori

Sarah Begum Kabori, famously called Mishti Meye, is an immortal name in terms of the silver screen. She began her journey into the world of cinema with Subhash Dutta's "Sutorang" at the age of 13. The legendary actress literally penetrated into the hearts of the audience with stellar performances in "Sujon Sokhi" and "Sareng Bou".

Today marks the birthday of the graceful beauty, Kabori, and Bangladesh Film Artiste's Association has organised a special event today.

"We want to honour the legendary Kabori apa on her birthday with a cake cutting ceremony, and a special prayer arrangement at the association's office on 7:30 pm today," said Symon Sadik, Joint General Secretary of Bangladesh Film Artistes' Association.

The silver screen goddess created a void in the Bangladeshi film industry after her untimely demise on April 14. The wretched Covid snatched the life of the legendary actress who left everyone teary eyes and heartbroken. The association couldn't celebrate her birthday last year due to the outbreak of Covid- 19.

Kabori was born and raised in Chattogram and debuted in silver screen in 1964 with Subhash Dutta's "Sutorang." Throughout her career, she chose scripts various genres including romance, folk, social issues, war, and family relationships, among others.

The actress has worked in numerous popular movies throughout the 1970s and 80s, notably "Sujon Sokhi" and "Sareng Bou" with Farooque. Kabori also gave super hit performance with Bulbul Ahmed in "Devdas", which brought her critical acclaim.

"Titash Ekti Nadir Naam", directed by Indian filmmaker Ritwik Ghatak, was highly appreciated. She also acted in Zahir Raihan's Urdu film "Bahana".
