Tarin’s 25-year acting career is well and thriving; lately she has also made inroads into production.
She has worked in numerous TV plays, and appeared in only two feature films, one of which is yet to be released. Directed by Sajal Khaled, her second movie, titled “Kajoler Dinratri” is an adaptation of celebrated novelist Muhammad Zafar Iqbal’s novel. Besides Tarin, the cast includes, Afzal Hossain, Shamim Shahed and Ferdousi Priyabhashini. “I’m working on this film for two reasons: First, it’s about the Liberation War; second, the film is being made for children,” said Tarin.
Tarin had acted in another children’s film, “Kanthal Buri”, sometime back. Currently, two of her serials are being aired on TV channels. Along with Bipasha Hayat, she has recently acted in a play directed by Animesh Aich. Tarin produced the play as well.
The accomplished actress, who is a former “Notun Kuri” champion, has recently finished working on the TV play, “Nelir Hotel”. Directed by Bipul Raihan, the play is set in Cox’s Bazar. Tarin described the production as “unconventional”.
When asked if she is contemplating direction or hosting TV shows, Tarin said: “Acting is everything to me, it’s my passion; I want to stick to it.”
She has acted with several renowned directors: from the late Abdullah Al Mamun to young and promising directors. “Some of the young directors are really talented and have already shot to fame,” she said.
Also known for her skills in dancing and singing, Tarin seldom does either nowadays. There is, however, good news for her fans; She is working on her debut album. Written by Zulfikar Russell, the songs are composed and directed by Ibrar Tipu, Bappa Majumdar, Indranil Sen, and Rupankar.
“I won’t reveal everything in advance about the album,” she said smilingly.
