Popular TV actress Ishita is set to make her debut as an author at this year’s Ekushey book fair. Her first book “Nirobe” has been published by Shobdo-Shilpo Prokashoni.
On the book, Ishita says it is the story form of a TV drama that she wrote in 2008. The play was aired then and has four to five characters, she adds.
Ishita began practicing her writing skills during her childhood, with teen magazine Kishor Tarokalok featuring several of her stories. However, “Nirobe” is her first serious work, Ishita adds.
Apart from acting, Ishita is busy directing TV dramas and writing new screenplays for TV. So far she has written 11 plays for television and wants to try her hand at more serious forms of writing if she can manage the time. Although the artiste is keen to visit the book fair, she is busy taking care of her ailing grandmother. But Ishita asserted she intends to go to the fair whenever she can get time off.
