run-up and leapt from a rock adopting the classic Superman pose with one clenched fist thrust out in the air before shifting into a staple dive into the water “I noticed he didn’t come back up and

Despite days of promotion on Facebook, where the actress announced her plans to inaugurate the Tin Market showroom near the Elenga bus stand, the event took an unexpected turn due to objections from the National Ulama Mashayekh Aimma Parishad and Hefazat-e-Islam's Tangail and Kalihati branches. According to Prothom Alo, sources reveal that the actress was scheduled to attend the opening ceremony of Herlan Store, a cosmetics shop in Tin Market, Elenga, at 3:00pm today, Saturday. However, due to resistance from certain groups, the event was postponed. Herlan Store's proprietor, Mir Masud Rana, confirmed the matter to the media. According to Mir Masud Rana, the inauguration featuring Pori Moni was scheduled for today, with all required administrative permissions secured. He explained, "We had been promoting the event for several days. However, on Thursday (January 23) night, a man named Shariful Islam called, informing us that they would not permit the event to proceed with Pori Moni." "Early Friday (January 24) morning, Mufti Sulaiman, Mufti Suruzzaman, and 30 to 40 others called to threaten that they wouldn't let her attend. They even made indecent remarks about her. After Friday prayers, they announced plans to protest and stage a sit-in outside the showroom. Consequently, we were compelled to cancel the event. Still, many people turned up today, hoping to see Pori Moni," he added.  Ahead of her planned visit, Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh's Tangail District Youth Affairs Secretary and National Ulama Mashayekh Aimma Parishad's Kalihati Upazila President, Mufti Sulaiman Habib, posted on Facebook on Friday (January 24).  The incident has sparked outrage across the showbiz industry, with many expressing their concerns on social media about such acts of extremism. Pori also wrote on social media, stating, "How can one remain so silent? It feels oppressive. Why should artistes face so many obstacles? I'm feeling insecure! Why are we not safe in such an independent country? Mehazabien, Porshi, and others have also faced such harassment before! What are they trying to prove under the guise of religion?" "What more is there to say…should we just shut down cinema and entertainment in this country altogether then? So, should we assume that we were emotionally manipulated back then? Or are we being manipulated now? Which one is it? This responsibility falls on all of us to bear," the actress concluded. Pori Moni has often been in the limelight for her personal life more than her work. Over the years, the actress has faced criticism for controversies surrounding her relationships, marriage, and even drug-related incidents.  Despite all of the criticism,her outspoken nature and resilience made her one of the most talked-about figures in the entertainment industry. Recently, she has once again made headlines due to legal issues and rumours about her romantic life.  Last Monday, actress Pori Moni secured bail in a case filed by Nasir Uddin Mahmud, a director of Dhaka's Savar Boat Club, accusing her of assault, attempted murder, vandalism, and intimidation. After the court granted bail, the necessary legal paperwork was completed. Her bail bond was signed by two guarantors—her lawyer, Nilanjana Rifat, and young musician Sheikh Sadi. Sadi's consistent presence alongside Pori Moni in court sparked speculation on social media, with many assuming a romantic relationship between the two. All things considered, it can be said that Pori Moni is going through a tough time. Her Facebook status on Thursday hints at that. In her post, she wrote, "For some reason today, I felt like asking myself a lot of questions in my own way. I had a deep conversation with myself, confronting myself with difficult and probing questions". Reflecting on her thoughts, Pori Moni questioned herself: "What have I achieved in my career that fascinates the public so much? Why does the media focus on me so extensively? Why do people seem more interested in my personal life than my work? Looking back to the era of Shabana, Babita, Kabori, and Rozina, were they scrutinised for their personal lives in comparison to their professional achievements?" She further expressed, "I stopped myself from dwelling on countless more questions because sometimes, life itself becomes more important than one's career. Everyone deserves the right to live in peace. My only request is—please, let me be. For God's sake, stop dragging my personal life into unnecessary discussions beyond my work". "I want to provide my children with a beautiful, healthy life. As their mother and only guardian, I want to offer them the best, just like every mother desires!" The past three or four months have been the most difficult period of my life. I feel there's no need to elaborate on why or how", stated the actress.  She then urged everyone to let her be at peace. "I am an actress, I am a woman, but above all, I am a human. I pray to all the people of this world—oh humans, oh greatest beings of the earth, please show me some mercy. Let me live my life peacefully first, and then I will answer all these countless questions".

Pinky Akter, the worker in question, filed a General Diary (GD) at Dhaka's Vatara Police Station, claiming that Pori Moni physically assaulted her over an issue related to feeding the actress's one-year-old daughter. Later that night, Pori Moni addressed the incident in a Facebook Live, calling it a "media trial" and expressing deep concern over how the issue has been reported. She stated that while she possesses all the necessary evidence, she is choosing not to release it on social media out of respect for the legal process.  She urged the media to refrain from delivering a one-sided narrative before the facts are verified. "Anyone familiar with my life over the past few years would know how deeply I value the people who work with me. My life revolves around them. I've celebrated my most personal occasions—Father's Day, Valentine's Day—with them because they're like family to me. I live with them, and they are a part of my everyday world," said Pori Moni during the live. "A case has been filed, and I believe it should proceed through legal channels. But my question is—couldn't the media have waited? The mental distress this coverage has caused me is beyond words. The way she was interviewed, the platform she was given—are we now justifying any and every GD by giving it airtime without fact-checking?" she added. Pori stated in the live broadcast that the police came to her house last night between 9:00pm and 9:30pm and questioned everyone in the house. "It's not about whether this has made me look small or big—if I've done something wrong, then I definitely deserve to be punished. Anyone can make an accusation, but will you declare someone guilty before it's even proven?" she questioned. Referring to past experiences, she said, "I've been through this before. When I was falsely accused and jailed—7 days in remand and 20 days in custody—the media was relentless. Headlines like 'What did Pori Moni eat in jail?' or 'Which jail did she eat in?' were written not for the sake of attaining viewership. Even then, I chose not to speak out because I believed in the power of the law. I still do." "All I want is peace—for myself and my two children. I have a domestic helper who has worked with me for nine years. My current driver has been with me for four years, and the previous one worked for five. None of them have ever made any allegations against me. And now, someone who stayed for barely a month is making such accusations?" she asked. "My staff are like my family. They've stood by me during my darkest times—when I was battling depression and had no one else. They prepare my meals, send me off to work, and keep my world running. So please, don't reduce them—or me—to headlines without truth." According to the complaint filed on Thursday, April 3, at Vatara Police Station, Pinky Akter alleged that she was assaulted over feeding Pori Moni's daughter. She claimed the attack caused her to lose consciousness, after which she called the national emergency helpline, 999, and the police came and took her from that place.  Dhaka     Tuesday   06 May 2025 Actress Pori Moni has filed a case against her former domestic help Pori Moni appointed Pinky Akter as her housemaid on March 5 through ‘Kader Agency’ to look after her child.  E-mail: [email protected] All rights reserved.

She captioned the video, "A lot of you have been eager to see my daughter's face for a while. Today, I'm giving you a quick look at her in this short video from my son's birthday.

During the shoots of the project, Pori had an interesting encounter that she considers a blessing in her acting career. "I couldn't complete the work on time due to becoming a mother. Yet, the director and production company waited for a whole year. I am grateful to them." Since the director was adamant that only Pori is fit for this role, the entire team patiently waited for her. "For an artiste, it is indeed a great achievement, and I will always remember this." Pori shared that last year, they shot the series on the hill tracks, and she also shared that this thriller story is not about the hill area. One thing about the director amused Pori. "He never gave feedback after each shot, rather, after we shot the entire day, and wrapped up, he gave his suggestions to us. It was a good experience." The "Swapnojal" famed actress shared that she has noticed that her fans and the audience are eagerly waiting for her return to the screens. "They often ask me on social media 'When are you returning?'—and it really flatters me." Pori Moni wants to remain in the heart of the audience, and she shared one of her observations towards people that people now do not comment much on her personal life, rather they are more eager to watch Pori's acting. "At the same time, people praise me as a mother, and they adore my children, which is a great blessing for me."
