"I first met Shahnaz Khushi and her family on the set of Mamunur Rashid's television series 'The New Shobuj Opera,' which was written by Brindabon Das. Then, for the first time, we collaborated on 'Ghor Kutum'. Since then, a lot of time has passed, and our bond has grown stronger than ever," shared the actor.

Chanchal Chowdhury also reflected upon how the two families are so close.

"Our relationship is beyond that of co-artistes. Rather, we are one big family. Everybody in the media knows about our close bond. We regularly attend one other's social gatherings and events. We are there for each other through both the good and the bad times," said Chanchal Chowdhury.

Her performance draws you in because of how brilliantly and naturally she performs. Her acting touches the hearts of people from every class of society" shared Chanchal.

As an artiste, Khushi has portrayed characters which have made people both cry and laugh.

The actor also shared how, despite being good friends, they occasionally banter over the arts.

"We fight over the various aspects of literature, series, and movies. During family gatherings, we engage in hearty conversations over the arts. As a friend, I wish for her to live a long and healthy life," concluded Chanchal Chowdhury.
