For popular Dhallywood actress Apu Biswas, Durga Puja is more than a festival of joy. It is also a time filled with childhood memories and deep emotions associated with her mother. As the festival approaches, she finds herself remembering her late mother more often. In particular, the memory of the payesh (a traditional rice pudding) prepared by her mother continues to hold a special place in her heart. Alongside these personal emotions, the actress remains busy with her professional commitments in the film industry.

In an interview published on October 14, Apu Biswas spoke about her memories of Durga Puja, the time she spent with her family, and her expectations for the future of cinema. She also discussed several upcoming films in which she is involved. Her comments reflect a desire to balance personal memories and family responsibilities with plans to move forward in her acting career.

Childhood Memories Return During the Festival

Durga Puja is one of the major religious festivals celebrated by the Hindu community in Bangladesh. Every year, the occasion offers families, relatives, and friends an opportunity to come together and share moments of happiness. For Apu Biswas, the festival was also a special time during her childhood, filled with joy and precious family memories.

According to the actress, she grew up watching people celebrate the festival with enthusiasm and happiness. Her own family also enjoyed a festive atmosphere during those days. As a result, the arrival of Durga Puja brings back memories of her childhood and the moments she shared with her loved ones.

Apu Biswas has also extended her best wishes to everyone celebrating the festival this year. She hopes people will be able to celebrate peacefully and joyfully, without any unexpected difficulties disrupting the festive atmosphere.

Her hopes for the festival go beyond her personal experiences. They also reflect her wish for everyone to enjoy the occasion in a safe and pleasant environment.

Memories of Her Mother's Homemade Payesh Remain Unforgettable

The most emotional part of Apu Biswas's memories of Durga Puja revolves around her mother. Since losing her mother several years ago, the actress has felt her absence more deeply during special occasions. As the festival approaches, memories of the moments they shared return to her mind.

Speaking about the special payesh her mother used to prepare, the actress expressed how the taste and memories associated with it can never truly be brought back. During her childhood, her mother's homemade dessert was an important part of the festival. Although many things have changed over the years, those memories remain deeply rooted in her heart.

It is natural for people who have lost someone dear to feel their absence even during joyful occasions. Apu Biswas's reflections reveal a similar emotional experience. For her, Durga Puja is both a celebration and an opportunity to remember the family bonds, affection, and love she experienced in the past.

Her recollections also reveal a more personal side of the actress to her fans. Beyond the familiar face seen on screen, she is someone with family relationships, cherished memories, and deeply felt emotions. Many viewers may find similarities between her experiences and their own lives.

Busy Schedule With Upcoming Films

Alongside her personal memories, Apu Biswas continues to move forward with her film career. During the interview, she mentioned three films: Shikar, Durbar, and Secret. The projects are reportedly at different stages of production.

The actress recently travelled to Nepal to participate in the shooting of Shikar. However, unexpected flooding disrupted the filming schedule. As a result, the work could not be completed as planned, and she had to return to Bangladesh, according to her interview.

Maintaining a production schedule is important in filmmaking, but unexpected circumstances, including natural disasters, can require plans to be changed. The disruption to the shooting schedule in Nepal is an example of the challenges that can arise during film production.

Meanwhile, work on Durbar and Secret has also progressed considerably, Apu Biswas said. However, some portions of the projects remain unfinished. She hopes to complete the remaining work in due course. Until confirmed information about the release dates or final screening schedules becomes available, it would be premature to make any definite announcements about when the films will reach audiences.

Hopes for the Future of the Film Industry

Having been associated with Dhallywood for many years, Apu Biswas believes that the film industry has played a major role in establishing her identity and career. She hopes the country's cinema industry will experience better days in the future.

The development of Bangladesh's film industry depends on the combined efforts of audiences, filmmakers, actors, and producers. Quality storytelling, skilled production, opportunities for performers, and audience attendance at cinemas all contribute to the industry's growth. Apu Biswas's remarks reflect not only her commitment to her own career but also her optimism about the future of the industry.

The actress has also indicated that she has further plans involving films. Although she has not yet disclosed the details, her comments suggest that she is looking forward to appearing before audiences with new projects.

Professional Activities Beyond Acting

In addition to her film commitments, Apu Biswas participates in various professional activities, including business inaugurations, photoshoots, and other engagements. During the interview, she said she planned to travel to Bogura on October 17 to attend the opening ceremony of an establishment.

Alongside these activities, the actress also looks after her beauty parlour business. Spending time with her son remains another important part of her daily life.

As a familiar face in the entertainment industry, she has to manage professional responsibilities outside acting as well as her family commitments. Amid these activities, she continues to work towards completing her upcoming films and pursuing her future plans.

A Special Birthday Moment Filled With Her Son's Love

October 11 marked Apu Biswas's birthday. One of the most memorable moments of this year's celebration was a thoughtful surprise from her son, Abraham Khan Joy.

The actress revealed that her son had saved his own money to buy a cake for his mother. Receiving such a gift through her son's own initiative brought her great happiness. The gesture made the occasion especially meaningful to her.

Apu Biswas also cut a cake with the people working at her beauty parlour as part of her birthday celebration. She said she considers them members of her extended family. Birthday celebrations arranged by her fans also brought her joy.

These personal moments highlight the importance she places on her relationships with her family, son, colleagues, and fans alongside her busy professional life.

Personal Memories and a New Chapter Ahead

Apu Biswas's recent remarks bring together personal emotions and professional aspirations. Although memories of her late mother make her emotional during Durga Puja, she remains hopeful about her upcoming films and the future of the country's cinema industry.

Her life at present appears to be shaped by a mixture of childhood memories, her son's affection, and plans for new professional projects. The actress hopes to complete the work on Shikar, Durbar, and Secret and eventually bring these films to audiences.
