The Dhaka Times Desk Many may remember Banashree, a once popular actress in the Bangladeshi film industry. That Banashree now sells books on the streets and lives in the slums, recently after hearing about Banashree's plight, today's popular hero Anant Jalil extended a helping hand.
Bansree starrer Sohrab Rustom was released in the 90s, produced by Farooq Tagore, an influential producer of the time, and Ilyas Kanchan acted opposite Bansree as the hero.
The hit Sohrab Rustom film Raata Raati brought Bansree stardom, after which Bansree starred in several other films, but all of them were produced by Farooq Tagore himself, because Farooq Tagore brought Bansree to Dhaka and he did not want Bansree to act in someone else's film. let it Farooq Tagore's restrictions on Banasree became a problem for Banasree at one time.
When Banashree was at the height of his popularity, he used to live in Farooq Tagore's house, but suddenly Farooq Tagore was involved in a murder incident in the area, and he went into hiding and Banashree's troubles began. After this Banashree talked to various directors and producers but did not get an opportunity to act in any film.
At one time she was given a beauty parlor but it did not last long, later Banashree tried to do many things in pursuit of life and livelihood but she was not successful, once she married a man but when a daughter was born, her husband left her and ran away.
Banashree came down to the streets, selling books on the pavement, hawking on the bus, somehow Banashree, who once lived a colorful life on a colorful screen, became a sidewalk hawker.
After informing the FDC Shilpi Kalyan Samiti about his remote condition, no help was forthcoming. Banshree failed to get help from President Nayak Shakib Khan to Villain General Secretary Misha Saudagar.
When the story of Banasree came to the ears of today's hero Anant Jalil, he quickly inquired about Banasree and extended his hand to help Banasree financially. Actor Anant Jalil's contribution to helping Banashree when so many big name actors of the film did not come forward really put him in the seat of a real hero.
