It was my first work under Rafat’s direction. He knows how to ensure his works from the actors showing proper respect to them. I liked it.”Purnima shared her feelings by this way, “Zahid Bhai-Mou Apu is my favourite couple. I always think them as my family members. I can recall the memories of those days when their daughter Pushpita was child. During that time I passed many days in their residence to take part gossiping with them. I never forget those memories. Zahid Bhai is such a person who always tries to solve any problem of mine seems like my elder brother. Last Eid I first worked under Rafat’s direction. This time also worked in this play. Rafat can successfully finish his works from the actors without giving any pain, which cannot be given by others.”August 24 was Rafat’s birthday.
