The internationally renowned actress of the subcontinent Babita celebrated her birthday on July 30. This year's birthday was a little more joyful for her as she celebrated the day with her only son Anik.
Babita was surprised to see her son's love and respect for her. However, Babita also brought up her only child as a proper human being in her own ideals. Now her son Anik is her pride.
The festival will pay tribute to the icon Babita. Babita, the pride of Bangladesh, will be honoured with an international award on Friday in the city of Dallas, USA. Basically from Friday, the 6th annual Bengali Film Festival of Dallas is going to be started in Dallas.
Amjad Hossain's movie ‘Nayan Moni' starring Babita will be screened as the opening film of the festival. Beginning from Friday, the festival will run till August 6 at Angelika Film Center Dallas.
Babita said, “There was a time when talented filmmakers of our country used to make very good movies. Before the independence of the country, the good films of those talented filmmakers did not get a place in international festivals. After the independence of the country, we got the opportunity to screen our films at international festivals. Once I got an opportunity to act in Satyajit Ray's film ‘Ashani Sanket’. The film was widely appreciated worldwide. I represented the film internationally.
I have established myself as a Bangladeshi girl in the international film industry with the flag of Bangladesh, I have known myself. I informed everyone that I am a Bangladeshi girl. Today, this Bengali Film Festival of Dallas is going to be held around me only and, the Honorable Mayor will hand over the honour to me. This honour is not only mine, this honour, but this achievement also belongs to my country, my family.”
Babita has been awarded by many organisations including National Film Award seven times. She also gets Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of her acting in films. Babita was last seen in Nargis Akhtar's film ‘Putra Ekhon Paisawala’. Babita is the only actress who has participated and been honored in the most number of international film festivals for Bangladesh. Since 2012, she has been working relentlessly for the underprivileged children of the country.
