Popular actress and film director Aruna Biswas for the first time is going to receive a national recognition in her acting career of more than three decades. Marking her significant contributions to the art and culture of Bangladesh at the national level Aruna Biswas is going to be honored with the 'Shilpakala Padak 2022'.
Aruna Biswas received the joyful news through a letter signed by Director General of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy Liaquat Ali Lucky.
Expressing her excitement about this remarkable achievement in her acting career, Aruna Biswas said, “Throughout my life, I have dedicated myself to the love of art and culture. I have cherished acting and pursued it wholeheartedly. I have never lobbied with anyone hoping for any recognition. I believed that if luck favoured me, then surely I would receive state recognition one day, and if not, I would accept it. For so long, I have lived with that acceptance. But at this stage of life, even at the end, I am going to receive state recognition.”
“It is not really expressed in words how much I am joyful. I express infinite gratitude to God. I remember my father with great respect. My mother and my brother Mithu were overjoyed upon hearing the news. My child was very emotional from a distance. A heartfelt thank you to Hon'ble Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who has always stood by us through thick and thin,” she added.
Meanwhile, Aruna Biswas made her directorial debut with the film, ‘Oshombhob,’ which was supported by government grants. The movie features an ensemble cast, including Abul Hayat, Jyotsna Biswas, Shatabdi Wadud, Shahed Sharif Khan, Swagata, Sohana Saba, and others. Although the film faced challenges in achieving expected success due to the current political situation, Aruna remains content, acknowledging the role of fate in such matters.
She eagerly anticipates the formal reception of the ‘Shilpakala Padak 2022.’ As of 2019, Biswas acted in over 100 films. After 6 years staying in Canada, Biswas returned to Bangladesh.
