Actress Mehbooba Mahnoor Chandni, known for her acclaimed performances in films like "Dukhai", "Lalsalu", and "Joyjatra", is returning to the small screen after a long break. The National Film Award-winning actress enjoyed massive success through television dramas while working. She recently completed shooting for the drama "Tumi Ami O Se", directed by Azizul Hakim and written by his wife, Zeenat Hakim.
Speaking to The Daily Star, Chandni shared that the compelling story of the drama alongside her respect for Azizul and Zeenat Hakim motivated her comeback. "They are wonderful people and highly organised when it comes to their profession. When they offered me the script, I immediately agreed," she said.
In this upcoming project, Chandni has been paired opposite her longtime friend, actor Shajal Noor. Reflecting on their reunion, she added, "We share a wonderful bond, so working together again was enjoyable." When asked if she misses her busy shooting schedule from her heydays, Chandni admitted, "Of course I miss it! We were like one big family, and the audience's love meant everything.
" She added, "My fans still encourage me to return to acting more regularly, but my commitments as a dance teacher at an English-medium school limit my time." "I haven't quit acting, but I need good scripts to return," she explained. "I prefer projects that offer strong, meaningful storytelling, regardless of whether they're for TV or OTT platforms.
" Chandni, who began her career as a dancer, has been actively teaching dancing for several years. "I find teaching to be incredibly rewarding. It brings me great joy to see my students express respect and admiration for my background," she stated.
Despite her current focus on teaching, Chandni expressed her desire to continue dancing throughout her life, describing it as her true passion.
