Rosy Selim said about acting in the play, I receive positive feedback from the audience during every show. As 50th show of the play will be staged today, I believe it will be more responsive than earlier shows. I am grateful to Harunur Rashid for a splendid story and also gratitude to director Shahiduzzaman Selim. Because of them, I got a huge response for my performance in this play.
Watching my performance, Golam Mustafa (The late veteran actor is the father of celebrated actress Suborna Mustafa) once said that you are god-gifted actress! I cant make you understand in words that how big appreciation it was for me. The very blessing has always been an inspiration to me, Rosy added while recalling a fond memory about her acting life.
