While taking to Bangladesh Post, Parna shared her experience on being part of the film. She said that is was an honour to have been part of a song where she got to sing alongside a legend like Kumar Bishwajit, that too on her first playback. It was also a matter pf pride for her to be part of a project with an actor like Riaz Ahmed who she has always been a fan of and really admired his work.
She further shared,“I was asked to be in the music video of the movie. I could not go there for personal reasons as the shooting was outside Dhaka. That's why I wasn't in the video. However, it would have been nice to be a part of the video.”
Himadrita also shared that that even though she is a musician, she was also offeredacting roles.
“I have been offered to work in acting roles many times before. There is no such plan as of yet, but music is my propriety. I love music very much and it is my biggest passion.
When asked about her future plans for music, she told Bangladesh Post that she is looking to cover some of the old and modern songs suitable for this time but also which will remind the audience of how rich the Bengali songs are.
“Music is in my blood. I was born into a musical family, my parents played tabla, I still wake up to the sound of my father playing tabla. My parents wanted me to be an artist since I was young, and that's what I'm trying to do,” she said.
The talented singer has shared that she has a handful of projects coming up and they are to remain a surprise for her audience.
