The late legendary novelist and director Humayun Ahmed’s birthday is today, November 13. On the occasion of his birthday, various dramas and films by him will be aired on various channels. Actor, director and singer Meher Afroz Shaon spoke with Bangladesh Post about the arrangements of Humayun Ahmed’s birthday—Written by A Mizan

Today is the birthday of Humayun Ahmed. Are there any special arrangements on your behalf for this occasion?

There is no special arrangement on my behalf. Every year we celebrate his birthday by cutting a cake at 12:00am. This time, we will celebrate the birthday of Humayun Ahmed by cutting the cake in Nuhash Polli. He will be honored at his burial place in Nuhash Polli in the morning. I will pay homage to his burial site in the morning.

For the sixth time, Humayun Mela has been organized at Channel-i. You are to attend the fair. Will you be attending any other programmes?

I’ll go to the Humayun Mela. In addition, I will be seen on Channel-i in a program called ‘300 Seconds’. Here I talked about Humayun Ahmed. I wouldn’t say that it’s a programme about Humayun Ahmed.

What did you talk about at the show?

Every show has a reason. The reason for this one is to increase the views. I don’t know how many people will watch the show on TV, but raising the view on YouTube is the only reason for the show. There are many ways to ask questions. Here, the show is organized based on the way a question is answered. I don’t like that. That’s what I said on this occasion. I am not sure whether this line will be cut on the show. When I was asked how you feel about coming to this show. I told them that the way a question is asked should be a little elegant. When asked the same question on all occasions, the presentation becomes monotonous. I think the style of questioning should change. 

Acting, directing and singing have been your area of work. But now we do not see it at all. Why are you getting away from it all of a sudden?

I cannot say the exact reason why I am away. However, this is because of my professional busyness and because acting has never been my profession. When we acted, we didn’t think of making it a career. There would not have been so many dramas either. There was not so much flinging of money everywhere either. I took architecture as a profession. That is why I say as an architect, I am a bit busy. That is why I am less seen in dramas or cinema.

You made the movie ‘Krishnapakkha’. Then you talked about making another movie. Why didn’t you get back to make that movie?

I was supposed to make a movie about a guy who had become first in a reality show. It didn’t happen later on. In fact, many things come up while making a movie, so the making of the movie got suspended. I will definitely make movies. But that movie won’t happen.

It is being heard that you are working in a new song. When will they be released?

We are working on some songs. Already, the tunes of the song are done. Hopefully soon the audience will be able to hear the songs.
