Leading, popular and romantic actress of Dhaka cinema, Purnima’s coming into the film industry was like searching a princes in dream; as if thinking of the princess, getting her address, going there and coming with her.
The year was 1997. A new actress was in search for Motiur Rahman Panu’s movie “E Jibon Tomar Amar”. Director Zakir Hossain was busy in searching a new face for the movie. At last, he got to know about Purnima from his journalist friend and having seen Purnima’s killing smile at her house, he immediately selected Purnima for the movie “E Jibon Tomar Amar”
Inexperienced Purnima was little nervous but fearless in front of camera. After the first shot, she got courage and from then on, she has been acting in Bengali movies one after another with her talent and skill and set her as the leading romantic actress of Bengali cinema and got a huge popularity and fame.
