Sheikh Arif Bulbon :
In the mid 90s, who were active in ramp modelling and who were actively worked in media they can easily recall the name of once popular model and TV actress Ankhi Chowdhury.
In 1995, within one year she came into limelight in the field of ramp modelling. Later in 1996, she attracted the viewers’ attention after working in two package dramas under the direction of Lucky Inam. She also became a popular actress in media during that time within a short days. But she left media and went to USA in 1997.
Despite leaving country Ankhi’s mind was concentrated to media of Bangladesh. For this reason, she started to take part in different shows in USA. In the meantime, she was active in choreography. In 1999, she acted in a telefilm titled Obhibashi in USA. Shahin Khan, Lutfunnahar Lata and Salek Khan were her co-actors in the telefilm.
Still now Ankhi feels the essence of Bangladesh’s media. For this reason, after a long time break, she returned to acting in Bangladesh. Under the direction of Mostafa Kamal Raz she acted in a special play titled Abaro Panch Bochhor Por on the occasion of last Valentine’s Day. Apurbo worked with her in that play. Last year the play was aired on ATN Bangla.
Last week Ankhi has returned to Bangladesh. Only for love and affection to motherland she returns to Bangladesh every year. She will again go to USA on February 12.
While talking about herself mother of two daughters, Farisa and Sama Ankhi Chowdhury told this correspondent, “I really miss the media of Bangladesh. Though I have been living in USA for last 18 years but I feel my country every moment. I enjoy the traffic jam of Dhaka. I love it. I desire to be regular in acting. But due to reality I cannot become regular in acting. Everybody pray for me as I can work sometimes in Bangladesh.”
Ankhi was born in Chittagong and was brought up in Barisal. She always wants to introduce herself as a media personality, she said.
