Sujata is the veteran actress of Dhallywood. This ‘Roopban’ famed actress is also a director and producer. She also made a name for herself as a writer. Due to old age, she is not regular in anything. It is known that the actress was facing a severe financial crisis at a late age. She lives in a rented house in the Banasree area.

She applied to the Deputy Commissioner of Dhaka regarding a permanent residence. The matter came to the notice of Dhaka Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Mominur Rahman. He then requested his officials to find a suitable house for Sujata’s residence. Under his guidance, the Dhaka District Commissioner finally rescued property No. 43, 43/2, and 43/3 of Lalchan Mokim Lane in Wari from the illegal inhabitants.

She states, “Artists like us are alive because of the honorable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. I have no words to express my gratitude to her. And the cooperation of the Deputy Commissioner will also be remembered forever.”

Apart from this, the recovered private land or assigned property will be allotted to members of social, cultural, sports, and public welfare-oriented organisations. We are trying to stand by all of them on the instructions of the Prime Minister.”
