Legendary actress Bobita is spending time under home quarantine. He is spending a solid time sitting at home. Besides regular fasting, the actress is also praying five times a day. She also that the prayers of Tahajjud are also being offered by her. 

She takes care of her own garden. She talks with her son and relatives who are staying abroad over skype. Apart from this, she is also watching local and foreign movies in her spare time. And Satyajit Ray's various movies have taken place in her watch list. 

In this context, Bobita said, "A few days ago, Satyajit Ray's birthday passed. I got international recognition through Ray's movies. I was hesitant when I was called to be the wife of Ashani Sanket. I went to India, they took a screen test. 

Then Ray took me in the picture. In a word, the experience of working with him is great. And after the release of the movie has been screened in various film festivals around the world. As a result, everyone in the world started recognizing me. 

Everybody would introduce me at any film festival in the world, this is Bobita, the heroine of Satyajit Ray. In the then Soviet Union, my movies were dubbed and played. As a result, Russian taxi drivers knew me. 

When I walked out of a festival building in Russia, the children would stand up and take my autograph. I got all this because of working in Ray's movie.”

Due to the coronavirus, like all other sectors, the cinema industry has also come to a standstill. Bobita is worried about the bad condition of the movie. She also gave suggestions about post coronavirus period for the cinema to turn around. 

About this, Bobita said, “Those who are skilled here have to think about what they will do. How to revive the industry again. It seems to me that the plight of cinema will not go away very easily. 

It would be wrong to say that our film industry will turn around even if everything becomes normal because the condition of the movie is already bad. I will give the advice to repair everything again. I don't see any other way but to start all over again.”

Asked if she would write her own autobiography, Bobita said, “Earlier some journalists came from India and they wanted to write my autobiography. Then I told them that you are from India, why do you want to write my autobiography. 

I am a Bangladeshi actress. I want someone from Bangladesh to work with me. I did not agree to their offer in India. And no one from Bangladesh has contacted me yet. I have seen a couple of people who have contacted or know very little about me. 

So how do I agree with the proposal of those who do not know me properly? It's no longer a matter of writing what I wanted. It is a matter of time. And it is not possible for me alone. I might think if someone came to see my movie would read about me well. 

If you come to know about the films of the whole of Bangladesh and talk to me, then maybe I can work with them. Otherwise it is not possible.”
