The Met Gala's extravagant events have often been likened to “The Hunger Games”, and particularly 2024 hasn’t won't be an exception. Beyond the lavishness of the annual Red Carpet, the event serves as a fundraiser to support the arts. However, its high-end, fantastical atmosphere often disconnects from the more humble origins of its charitable mission.

In 2007, Faria Shahrin became the first runner-up in the 'Lux-Channel i Superstar’ beauty pageant show. She gained popularity for her role as Antara, in Kajal Arefin Ome’s "Bachelor Point".

Prominent actress Nadia Ahmed, who is also popular as a dancer and model, has been gracing the country's entertainment scene with her multifaceted talent. On the poignant occasion of International Mother's Day, the seasoned artiste, who has graced the showbiz arena for decades, offered heartfelt reflections on her mother Afroza Akhtar in an exclusive interview with The Daily Star.

Hridi Huq's mother is Lucky Enam, an Ekushey Padak-winning actress, who, along with her father Enamul Haque, played a significant role in her pursuit of acting.

Ferdous Ahmed, a chief guest at the event, remarked, "My mother's acceptance of this award for my achievements fills me with great pride. I applaud this initiative and hope to eliminate the necessity for old-age homes in Bangladesh. Our goal is for every parent to remain safe and supported with their children and family."

Before long, the actress disclosed she would be staying here for a long time. She is also supposed to act in several projects, “A few directors reached out to me before my return. However, I want to act in selective projects. I feel that the audience misses my work, and I also miss acting, thus I will try to participate in a few of the projects during my visit.”

The co-stars Kaushambi Chakraborty and Adrit Roy from the series “Mithai” tied the knot last Thursday (May 9), in the presence of their friends and family members. At the wedding, the on-screen “Mithai” family was also in attendance and they shared cherished memories on social media. The couple was beaming in their traditional Bengali attire, as their love was in the air.

Doyel then urged the audience to go to theatres and watch the film. “It is very important that we support our local films, I would request the audience to keep this culture alive.”

The Netflix series “Baby Reindeer”, based on Fiona Harvey’s character, has gained worldwide popularity since its release. However, the real-life Fiona was obligated to come into the spotlight following public criticism to express her account of events.
