Malaika Chowdhury, the younger sister of Mehazabien Chowdhury, is set to make her mark in the television industry with her debut drama, Sonbikkhon.
Directed by Mohammad Mostafa Kamal Raz, the project features a storyline penned by none other than Mehazabien herself.

Malaika continued: “The entire team was incredibly supportive. With their encouragement and my confidence, the first scene filming went smoothly.”
Malaika revealed that she managed to complete several scenes throughout the day, with more days of shooting still ahead.
Her connection to director Mostafa Kamal Raz runs deep, as her sister has collaborated with him on multiple projects.
She disclosed: “I’ve known Raz bhai for quite some time. While I received acting offers from others, it is Raz bhai’s drama that will ultimately mark my debut.”
In Sonbikkhon, Malaika takes on the role of Ira, a university student. She shared how her character resonated with her own life:
“I’ve finished both my O and A Levels, and I’m now attending university.

She will be sharing the screen with Jovan, whom she praised as both a talented actor and a kind person.
The actress remarked: “Jovan bhai has been incredibly supportive throughout the shoot.”
Malaika’s journey into acting was also supported by her family.
“I have my parents’ full support. Today, they even wished me a good day, which meant a lot to me.”
Malaika Chowdhury’s aspiration to join the entertainment industry has been a long-held dream, sparked by watching her sister achieve fame.
She shared: “Honestly, I’ve had this dream of entering showbiz for many years, probably starting when I was six or seven.
“Even back then, I imagined myself following in my sister’s footsteps, and now that dream is finally becoming a reality.”
