In the wake of a sweeping reformation wave following the events of August 5, another high-profile figure has been displaced from her post. Rokeya Prachi, a renowned actress and director, has been removed from her position as vice president of the Television and Digital Program Producers’ Association of Bangladesh (Telepab), amid allegations of disciplinary breaches.

In a time when remembering the contributions of Bangabandhu is seemingly being questioned, actress Rokeya Prachi courageously took her stand in mourning Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, almost single-handedly. 

Prachi took up a position at the charred site, announcing her peaceful vigil on social media. "I am here at Dhanmondi 32," she wrote, “Let justice be served for all murders, all chaos. Let there be justice for the erasure of Bengali history. I am here. We also want justice. I will remember the history of independence and Bangabandhu in this peaceful protest. I am at the burned Dhanmondi 32. Joy Bangla. Joy Bangabandhu."

In this new committee, among the members from the acting profession are Sujata Azim, Aruna Biswas, Rokeya Prachi, Purnima and Azizul Hakim. Additionally, film producer Khasru and filmmaker Jahangir Alam will also serve as members of the committee for one year.

Asaduzzaman Noor, who is most known for his performances on television and stage, has lent his voice to renowned poet Abu Zafar Obaidullah’s “Kono Ek Make” for the film. The iconic poem was recorded in a studio in the capital on Saturday (March 23).

As of the deadline for the acquisition of nomination forms today, a total of 14 stars have obtained nomination forms for the reserved seats designated for women in the National Parliament. Among them, actress Suborna Mustafa, alongside Tarin Jahan, Shamima Tusty, Lucky Enam, and Shimla, procured and subsequently submitted their nomination forms today (Thursday) as well.

Noted actress Rokeya Prachi has been working in films and on the stage for quite some time now. She was honoured with the National Film Award for her enchanting performance in “Dukhai” (2007). Rokeya’s performances in “Matir Moina” (2002) and “Swopnodanay” (2007) also received much appreciation both domestically and internationally. In an interview with The Daily Star, Rokeya opened up about her thoughts on the film industry, her career and much more.

Seasoned television actresses Rokeya Prachi and Shampa Reza will be seen together for the first time in drama serial “Parampora”.
