Runa wants to go back to village


She left the village and came to Dhaka for almost two decades. After finishing her studies, she made a career in acting. But this city never attracted her. Her mind was always on the childhood village of his birthplace Tangail. She wants to return there permanently. Why is the actress suddenly making such a decision?

As a child, whenever she left home, she would see green fields, trees, and hear the chirping of birds. The road leading to the school through the bushes and winding roads was a sight to behold. The village of her childhood still haunts her.

Runa Khan said, “I am just like the other girls in the village. I grew up in Sakhipur. That village is like a dream to me. The green of the village draws me very much. The green of the city tub doesn’t give me that much comfort. I want to breathe in the green with all my heart. I want to enjoy the time in the village.”

The actress last stood in front of the camera last March. Pankaj Palit's 'Na Bola Kotha' was shoot in Chittagong. Then Corona increased and did not shoot. “Many will be surprised to hear. We are still following the whole rule of lockdown. I never leave the house. Daughter's school is closed, husband's business is not in a hurry. There is no need to leave the house for this,” said Runa Khan.

Apart from regular drama work, Runa Khan has acted in several films including 'Halda', 'Sitkini' and 'Gahin Baluchar'. She won the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress for acting in Halda. Once she wanted to show his face on the screen. Now walking in a different direction.

"I don't want to work against my will anymore. I will not act in a story that will not introduce Runa apart. I don’t have too much demand for survival. I don't need crores of taka. If I get five good stories in two years, that's enough. Day by day this city is also losing its ability to hold me. I will go to the village as soon as my daughter learns to take responsibility. I will build a white one storey house. I will plant various flowers and fruit trees around. I want to enjoy a simple quiet life by keeping ducks, chickens and pigeons. I have also bought land. But I will never give up acting.”
