First-day-shooting experience

Tania Ahmed
Back in the 90s, when I first faced the camera as a model, camera phobia is the last thing I assumed I might have. The shooting took place at the Moghbazar branch of Aarong, where the director was Afzal Hossain while Anwar Hossain Bulu was operating the camera. There were other models who were also new in the scene.

When I peeped through a door, according to the script, everybody seemed to like my style and performance. The shot was okayed in one take. A well-known actress was shooting for another TV play nearby. But somehow, she could not perform appropriately. Cameraman Bulu scolded the actress saying, "Why can't you do this simple thing while a new comer like Tania has done her job so perfectly?"

For me that was special, as I was just stepping into the showbiz.
