I didn’t think the video would go viral: Mohana Meem

If you scroll through your Facebook, you must have come across a video where a girl is dancing without the care of the world in the busy street of New York.

The video has gone viral since its release. The girl is none other than Mohana Meem, who won the title of Channel i Sera Nachiye title in 2012.

"I recorded the video with my phone and uploaded it on Facebook. I didn't think that people will like it so much, and it will go viral instantly. I am so happy that the people loved my video," she said.

Debuting as a dancer, she started acting in tele-fictions and films eventually. Her anti-suicide awareness film "Jibon Pakhi" has been released today, across the country. She plays the character of Momota in this film.

The film depicts how suicide is not the solution. "The heart of the film is its beautiful story, which tells the audience to love their life. It's a story of individual fighting to get back their life, instead of giving it away.

Meem has also acted in the government-granted film "Lalchor" a few years ago, opposite Anisur Rahman Milon. The film was directed by Nader Chowdhury. She was nominated for the Meril-Prothom Alo award for her performance in the film. 

The actress has featured in dozens of tele-fictions over the years. She debuted on the small screen with the drama "Chokh Gelo Pakhi", directed by Abul Hayat.

Recently, she is regularly appearing in the drama serial "Shonda Panda", directed by Salahuddin Lavlu and written by Brindaban Das.

"I have always wanted to work with Brindaban Das and Salahuddin Lavlu. Finally, my dream has come true. I feel lucky to share the screen with Chanchal Chowdhury in this drama as well," said the actress.

Meem has worked across the border, appearing in the Star Jolsha serial titled "Ami Sirajer Begum" as the character Gulshana. She acted in the serial when she was a student at Rabindra Bharati University.

"I have a knack for arts and culture. I want to work selectively," she concluded.
