Joya Ahsan a famous actress in Bangladesh.

First picture is an actor of drama serial in Bangladesh. The second picture is an actress of drama serial in Bangladesh.  The actor is famous not for his outlook, but for his performance. The actress is famous for her prettiness not only for her performance. Do not think, that I mean the actress is not famous. In drama serial male actor can be famous for their performance. They do not need enough outlooks. However, you will not find an ugly actress in Bangladesh who is famous only for her performance. My point of view is that, to be an actress first requires the outlook then the performance and to be an actor first require the performance then the outlook, because everywhere female gets priority only for their outlook.



{February 26, 2009}   Female Directors in Drama

I am very interested in choreography. I like to work behind the stage then in the stage. On this purpose I would like to know about some female choreographer and director. Therefore, I searched some female directors. But sad news is that I had been searching for three days. Then, I found some female director of drama serial in Bangladesh. It has shocked me that after working hard when I found them the number is very less. It is very shameful for us. It is very hard to think that in this modern age it is very hard to find a female director of a drama serial. I searched twenty four drama and I found only four female director and twenty male director.1 While, in Bangladesh the ratio of men and women is 106:100. On the other hand, when we are talking about director of drama the ratio is women and men is 1:5.

When we watch a drama we can see lots of pretty actresses. My question is “Why the number of female directors is less?”  Are women inappropriate to be directors? Are they having lack of enough knowledge to be a director? Or, they are not interested to be directors? May be they are more interested to be actresses. When they are actress they get priority only for their prettiness. Therefore, their pace is slower than men in life.
