Entertainment Desk: Young actress Dipandita Roy. He has been acting regularly for several years. But not a big character. He has acted as a character actor for so long.
He also produced a play a few years ago.
Dipandita Roy, who grew up in the cultural environment since childhood, gave a long post on Facebook yesterday. There he has highlighted his experience of working in the entertainment industry. He also said that he received various types of bad offers.
He even announced that he would never act again.
He writes, “Five years ago, respected director Tanveer Mokammel Bhaiyya told me, ‘Deepa, media is not for an honest girl like you.’ When I left the government job and came to Dhaka, I did not know that there is no job here without sacrificing chastity.
I tried for 5 years, and how much? I really didn’t understand the give-and-take that one can’t really get a job without going to someone’s bed.”
He said, “In the beginning, some directors who are members of the director’s guild told me, either give up chastity or invest.” Since I will not lose my chastity at any cost, I decided to invest. However, I cannot be casted in the main. If you cast me as the main, the drama will not be televised.
So I invested 2/3 lakhs in each drama and continued to do ordinary characters. Hoping, after gaining recognition with my productions, maybe I will get outside work honestly due to my qualifications, and continue my productions as well. I had only one demand from the director, that they should refund my original money. But there was a bigger problem. The play aired on television, but did not get the money back. I kept losing pension money from my government job, money from selling land, money from selling jewelry one after the other. But the important character did not become available to me. If you can invest yourself, you get a chance to work, otherwise no one calls you for a job, even if you step on your feet a thousand times.’
He mentioned about the directors of the country and said, “I have requested the big directors of Bangladesh day after day, I have knocked for years. The directors of a class said, I will give the character. But when that character will come? There is no better answer to avoidance. The directors of another class said, Why should I give you work without give and take? But yes, in the beginning I got some minor characters in some outside productions through some assistant directors, but after 1 lot of work there were dirty offers from the director himself. As I did not respond to it, the work should have ended there.’
He said, ‘Yes, I am walking against the current. I’m a misfit in the media. Or B.Sc in Computer Engineering who comes in this filth? did not understand I left government service so I continued the war. My honest fight. I bet in my heart, I will prove to myself that chastity can be done. After working on at least 15 good television productions of my own, I didn’t get a chance for a small YouTube low-budget job after hundreds of requests. However, new girls are coming and making space in front of my eyes, who do not even have the minimum acting skills. And the directors who used to make dramas with my money and said, if they give me the main casting or that drama can’t be aired on television, my question to them is, then how did I do the main casting in my drama with the direction myself and run it on television?’ He also said, ‘Now the question is, I do not get a chance to do even a single scene even if I am a maid character, even if I request so many big directors, or I am not given a chance, the question is, then am I weak in acting or Not eligible? Yes, to answer this question first, I am a theater girl. I grew up in the cultural arena since childhood. During my studies in school and college, I participated and won numerous awards at the national level. In the last 5 years of media career I have censored two short films of my own production and successfully submitted them to various international festivals. After all, I got three rounds of auditions on my merits and got a huge amount of honor for working on Shyam Benegal’s Bangabandhu biopic. But when I went to audition for this movie, I didn’t even know FDC, I went there and auditioned by searching for people alone.’ He also said, ‘I didn’t want to write my own words. In the last 5 years, I have written thousands of times and deleted them, not even posting them. Because, if you write these words, a girl is called dirty. But there needs to be a limit to tolerance. Why can’t I get even a normal job in 3/4 months even though I am a member of Actors Equity? Not main casting, not important character, didn’t even beg for acting in 1 scene. I have requested thousands of times to most of the big directors of Bangladesh, begging on my knees. Of course, one of the female directors employed me honestly 2/3 of the time. I am grateful to him. I did not mention his name, as I did not mention anyone’s name. ‘ The post ended like this, ‘And the saddest thing is that I did not get my money back even after filing a petition with the directors guild against the directors who killed my money. Yes, the director’s guild completed the trial and gave an ultimatum to the two directors to return my money, but I still haven’t received the money. Ghenna has taken hold of my media. What I didn’t believe at first, today I swear, every young woman here is a prostitute, and the directors are women brokers. I couldn’t believe it when I heard it in person. But while keeping chastity and walking against the current, I fell down and stood up again and again, today I am sure that the media is not for a chaste girl, I hate the media. From today I stand away from the media. If I can afford to buy the media with my own money, I will come back that day again. Or I will be lost like myself.’ It is known that he has been associated with acting for five years. Worked in several dramas and telefilms. He also wrote. His book has also been published.
