Nawshaba and Tahsan: Old friends' maiden project on-screen

Popular singer Tahsan and TV actor Nawshaba have been friends since their years as students at Dhaka University, for around 15 years. Despite being enrolled in different academic programmes, the two had developed a strong bond of friendship that lasted over the years. 

“We used to catch up quite often during those days when we hadn't found fame,” said Nawshaba, “Charukola was a favourite haunt along with other areas within the campus. Tahsan's popularity shot when he came out with his first hit song, during which time I had also become a known face after doing a few TV plays. But we never had the opportunity to work together, until now.”

The duo will appear in a TV play titled “Durbin Prem”, directed by Rajib Sarkar. Shooting has recently been wrapped up in Uttara, and the pair is cast as a married couple. The plot revolves around the complexities of marriage, and explores the relationship between the couple.

“During shooting, it didn't feel like I was doing any work! He and I were chatting away the whole time like the old days. This has been a memorable and nostalgic shooting for us,” stated Nawshaba.
