Whenever I work with him, I learn many things from him in different ways. Working with him is not only limited to acting under his direction, I also try to involve myself deeply with the work being a part with his emotion.
Besides, Tareen grew up in front my eyes from her childhood. This is also my achievement that I am acting with her and she is my heroine, the actor added.
Tareen said about working in Salahuddin Zakis direction, From my childhood, I heard many stories about Syed Salauddin Zaki from Humayun Faridi and Suborna Mustafa. I also heard that a lot of things can be learned from him. Recovering from illness, he returned to work after a long time and he is working with methis this like my dream comes true. Besides, this is a wonderful matter that my co-artiste is my favourite Afzal Hossain. Overall, Hena is a unique chapter of my life. Syed Salahuddin Zaki informed that Hena will be aired on a satellite TV channel soon.
