From stage to street, artistes and activists led a cultural revolt against brutality and censorship
Popular actress Azmeri Haque Badhan has spoken out against a wave of personal attacks and online harassment she has faced in recent days, alleging that the abuse came not only from strangers but also from individuals within her own professional circle.
Originally scheduled for release on July 24, the film’s OTT debut was postponed out of respect for the July 21 tragic plane crash at Milestone School and College.
She concluded her post by criticising the societal obsession with controlling women. “This is the harsh reality we face daily. Society seems obsessed with ‘fixing’ women as if that’s the ultimate virtue. But let me say this: it is your own actions that determine your path, not your control over others, and certainly not over women.”
National Award-winning actress Azmeri Haque Badhan is earning praise for her latest film “Esha Murder”, which premiered on Eid-ul-Azha and is directed by Sunny Sanwar. Badhan takes on the leading role of a police officer in this woman-centric thriller, and the actress has since been immersed in promotions—appearing on TV, visiting theatres, and speaking with the press.
In a witty Facebook post that has since gone viral, actress Azmeri Haque Badhan has offered a scathing commentary on how quickly public perception, and sometimes diplomatic scrutiny, can spiral into absurdity.
Azmeri Haque Badhan, the National Film Award-winning actor who rose to global recognition with “Rehana Maryam Noor”, is returning to the silver screen in a bold new role. Her upcoming film “Esha Murder”, directed by Sunny Sanwar, is set for release this Eid, and she plays a police officer for the first time on screen.
Actress Nusraat Faria’s arrest in an alleged attempted murder case has drawn widespread criticism from prominent artistes and cultural figures, especially those who were vocal during the July uprising. Faria was detained at Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Sunday, May 18, while attempting to travel to Thailand, and was later sent to prison following a court order on Monday, May 19.
“Eid means joy, and I want to share that joy with my family,” Badhan tells The Daily Star, her voice filled with warmth and anticipation. For her, this Eid will be extra special as her daughter will be by her side, filling their home with the same excitement Badhan once felt during her own childhood celebrations.
