Sheikh Arif Bulbon :
As a dedicated person, noted film actress Anjuman Ara Shilpi has fame for helping artistes in the film industry. Besides film artistes, she has also fame to stand besides the general
people. For this reason, she is familiar to all as a humanitarian actress. Shilpi quitted acting from movie without any notice. She yet not confirmed when she will return to acting. However, Shilpi often gets offers to return to acting. But she has no interest to return to acting right now. But she feels thrill to get offer
for acting. While talking in this regard Shilpi said, “I am still getting offers for acting in movies and television dramas.
I also get phone calls to participate in different shows in television channels. As an example, few days ago, I got phone calls from different TV channels to attend their programmes on the occasion of death anniversary of Salman Shah to tell something about the hero. Therefore, I also get offer to attend magazine shows. I also got offers to perform as model in TVCs. In fact,
I have no time to work in media. I have to remain busy with my son Sanad Iqbal and daughter Angelina Iqbal. For this reason,
I have no scope to work now. But I cannot say what will be happened in future. I may take part in acting in the long run. That will depend on time.”
