Tisha can better explain why she acted in Bangabandhu biopic: Farooki
“She (Tisha) makes her own professional decisions. She can better answer why and under what circumstances she acted in that project. I don't see where I could have made any mistake here," he added
Cultural Affairs Adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki today (28 April) said that his wife actress Nusrat Imrose Tisha can explain better why she acted in the Bangabandhu biopic.
He made the remarks while speaking at a press conference at the Secretariat organised to discuss the invitation for Bangladeshi short film Ali to the Cannes Film Festival.
Responding to a question on whether he now feels it was a wrong decision for Tisha to act in the biopic, Farooki said, "Our (Tisha and Farooki's) marital life is such that both of us are independent in our professional decisions. Do you think we live in a society where a wife needs her husband's permission before making a professional decision, or a husband needs his wife's approval before taking one? I don't think so."

"She (Tisha) makes her own professional decisions. She can better answer why and under what circumstances she acted in that project. I don't see where I could have made any mistake here," he added.
Nusrat Imrose Tisha portrayed Fazilatunnesa Mujib (Renu) in the biopic "Mujib: The Making of a Nation".
The film, directed by Shyam Benegal, was a joint production of Bangladesh and India.
