Actress Sharlin Farzana has returned to television dramas after a long seven-year hiatus. She was once a regular face on the small screen and won viewers’ appreciation for her natural acting. However, she stepped away from acting for personal reasons. Although she later worked in commercials and films, she had remained absent from television dramas for several years.

Sharlin has finally made her comeback with ‘Nilpori’, directed by Masrikul Alam, where she stars opposite actor Ziaul Faruk Apurba. She said her last television drama was in 2019.

Speaking about her return, Sharlin said, “I am acting in a drama after almost seven years. I became a mother in 2020, so I had to take a break. Before I knew it, that break stretched into seven years.”

Explaining why she chose ‘Nilpori’ for her comeback, Sharlin said, “I had been hoping to return with people I had worked with before. When director Masrikul Alam told me that Apurba Bhai would be my co-star in the drama, I felt that this was exactly what I had wanted.”

She was also drawn to the storyline and her character. Sharlin said, “Another reason was that I wanted a story where the character would suit my age. The drama is about a married couple who fall in love and get married, experience disagreements in their married life, and eventually resolve their problems. I liked that aspect as well.”

The actress also highlighted the production time and budget as factors behind her decision to return. She said, “The final reason was the time and budget. When I used to work in dramas before, the budgets were low. We had to finish shooting very quickly. Even with a higher budget, we would usually wrap up filming within three days. Otherwise, it would take an average of two days. But we have been shooting this drama for seven days. The budget is also quite good, and the director is doing everything according to the requirements of the project.”

Apurba and Sharlin Farzana have previously appeared together in several popular dramas. Their notable projects include ‘Opekkhar Shesh Din,’ ‘The Miser,’ ‘Bhalobashar Fanush,’ ‘Tai Tomar Golpe,’ and ‘Sorry Too,’ among others.
