Suchanda, the dazzling heroine of Bangladeshi cinema, made her debut in 1966 in the movie 'Kagojer Nouka' directed by Subhash Dutt. The year 1966 was also a year when Bangladeshi cinema stood up against Pakistani cinema. The movies 'Rupban' directed by Salahuddin and 'Behula' directed by Zaheer Raihan were released in the same year. Actor Razzak made his debut as the first hero in ‘Behula’ opposite Suchanda.
Suchanda later acted in numerous movies. She won the first International Award for Best Actress for her performance in Zaheer Raihan's ‘Jibon Theke Newa’.

Commenting on the long path of 55 years of acting life, Suchanda said, "I have found the unconditional love of the audience in this small life. This is the great achievement of life. Life seems to have come to a standstill at this critical juncture in Corona. When I think of the golden days of film, I think of the current film. In our time, talented directors and actors have given their best work in many limitations. The future of our Bengali film depends on the young directors who are currently making films. Because with the use of modern technology, young producers will surely be able to present good movies with their love and effort. ”
