“I want to stick to acting”::Prasun Azad

Among thousands of contestants in the 2012 edition of Lux Channel i Superstar competition, Prasun Azad, from Mymensingh’s Fulpur, stood in a class of her own, and claimed a spot in the top ten. As the pageant progressed, she strengthened her claim and emerged as the first runner up in the final round.

In the following months, Prasun has been busy working in TV dramas, along with acting in a film. Asked about her goals, Prasun answers that she intends to do work that will be remembered by the audience for many years to come.

Although she is serious about her work in the media, Prasun started her journey in this direction just to kindle an interest. She says, “I enjoyed this show for a long time before signing up myself. My dreams began back then.”

Most of her recent TV works are in one-hour-shorts and tele-films. “I’m not working in serials at the moment, but I would be interested in a suitable role in a good serial,” Prasun adds.

She has recently appeared in two episodes of the serial “Great Mistake”. “The drama ‘Great Mistake’ features a different story in each episode. My work has been in accordance with that,” says Prasun.

Prasun has also finished shooting for Sazzad Sumon’s new drama “Notun Balika”, as well as playing the eponymous role in Toufiqur Rahman’s one-hour-short “Ananya”.

Prasun Azad’s first TV drama was Animesh Aich’s “Ekti Mrityur Shopno”, which got much positive feedback from the audience. She also managed to grab the attention of many directors through her performance.

Prasun says she is enjoying her latest work in “Mukhosher Meye”, a TV play by Azad Kalam.

She has earned much praise for her portrayal of a Birangona in the Channel 24 drama “Chithhi”, written by Bipasha Hayat and directed by Tauquir Ahmed.

She has also made her debut on the silver screen with the movie “Feel My Love,” where she plays an RJ.

Although she grabbed her place in the spotlight through Lux Channel i Superstar, Prasun participated as a contestant in the singing section of Notun Kuri. The star however adds the caveat, “I don’t sing any more; I want to stick to acting. I don’t have any dreams besides the world of acting.”
