Even the black and white hazy camera of the sixties could not conceal her beauty.

Moushumi
When the legendary Bangladeshi actress Arifa Parvin Zaman, popularly known as Moushumi signed the contract to be a cameo with Nusrat Faria in 2015, pictures of Moushumi and Nusrat Faria circulated over the internet. Moushimi caught the limelight and the latest Nusrat Faria was overshadowed beside Moushumi.
Fans critiqued Nusrat Faria's image as her lips looked swollen, suggesting she has changed her lip shape. Whereas, fans were stunned with Moushumi's grace in a shimmery golden saree with her charming smile being intact over the years.
A fashion house named Anzara invited Moushumi as the showstopper; during its inauguration of bridal collections, the owner of the fashion house claims that one of the fans of Moushumi wanted to pay Tk15 lakh to buy the saree worn by Moushumi on that show.

Babita was pacified by her sister to play the role of a teenage girl where Razzak played the role of her father. Only a few years later, Babita was assigned as the lead actress with Razzak as the lead actor in the film 'Shesh Porjonto', which came out in 1969.
Babita was hesitant to accept Razzak as her hero and exchange romantic dialogues, but the director taught her that this is a film, not reality. Bobita received immense admiration from the young generations with the release of this film.
