Acting She acted in two
liberation war related movies
Aguner Poroshmoni and
Joyjatra. The first of those which was directed by
Humayun Ahmed, she portrayed the role of a young girl who was blocked in her house with her family inside the city of Dhaka. Ratri as her characters name fell in love with a guerrilla freedom fighter (played by
Asaduzzaman Noor) who lived in their house during the war for shelter. Her affection towards the fighter reflects the support and contribution of the civilians to the guerrilla fighters of the war. In Joyjatra, her character was much more different as she acted as a middle-aged mother who lost her son as she tried to escape from an army attack.
