What is your recent film?

Mim: I'm busy shooting for “Sweetheart”, a film where I co-star with Riaz and Bappi. It is a family drama in which I play the role of a Christian girl. Soon we will go to Bangkok for shooting its songs.

It is your first movie with Riaz?

Mim: Yes. Earlier, I acted in a TV play “Rahasshamoi” opposite him.

What about  “Paddo Patar Jol”?

Mim: Ninety percent of the shooting is over. The audience will see me in a new avatar in the film. There's more:  We had great fun shooting the movie in Rangamati.  Yes it was tough going. We had to stay aboard boat for about five hours shooting a song.

You also acted in the film “Good Morning London” by director Tania Ahmed?

Mim: The London shoot is over but we still have to do the Bangladesh segment. I enjoyed a rickshaw ride with a Britisher during the shoot, a memorable moment for me.

No recent TV plays?

Mim: As I'm now very serious about cinema, I keep  away from performing in TV plays but still do TVCs.

What are your future plans?

Mim: I am waiting for films based on exciting plots. I hope they will give me greater exposure.

Mim: After completing the shooting of “Amar Achhe Jol”, Humayun sir told me that I would get an award for the movie. He proved right: Although I did not win the National Film Awards, I got the Meril Prothom Alo Award.
