bhorer kagoj

Only a few people know the fact that before starting out as an actor, Jaya used to be a top-notch journalist at a Bangladeshi daily bhorer kagoj.

Leave alone Dhaka, Jaya Ahsan has been giving sleepless nights to heroines here in Tollywood as well.

The tag of a superstar rests lightly on the Bangladeshi actor’s shoulders. The four-time Bangladeshi National Award-winning actor whose first film opposite Prosenjit Chatterjee, ‘Robibaar’, received critical acclaims wants to be identified as an artiste instead of a star.

Three Bangladeshi journalists, including two editors, and a car driver were detained by police after locals apprehended them while allegedly trying to cross into India. The journalists were reportedly assaulted by residents before being handed over to the authorities. They are now in police custody and will be taken to Dhaka for legal procedures.

Thousands of Bangladesh Nationalist Party activists rallied in Dhaka, calling for democratic elections. The interim government under Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has not announced a polling date. BNP's acting chairman Tarique Rahman highlighted the importance of public endorsement for reforms through elections. Journalists linked to former PM Sheikh Hasina face legal issues.
