Actors Tawsif Mahbub and Safa Kabir have caught social media users’ attention after appearing together in a colourful gaye holud-themed video.
Although many viewers initially thought the footage came from a new drama, it is actually part of an advertisement for a wedding fashion brand.
Shot at a resort, the promotional video features Safa wearing a yellow lehenga with colourful designs, while Tawsif appears in a yellow panjabi and kurta.
Several other young people join them, adding to the festive atmosphere of a traditional pre-wedding celebration.
The video has gained considerable traction online, collecting around 450,000 views within two days of its release. Many viewers praised the pair’s on-screen chemistry, while others mistook the advertisement for a scene from a television drama.
Tawsif and Safa have shared a friendship for years, dating back to before they entered the entertainment industry. Their recent appearance together has once again drawn attention to their bond.
The two actors recently travelled to Sylhet with friends to celebrate Tawsif’s birthday on 27 October. Actor Syed Zaman Shawon and his wife, actress Mumtahina Chowdhury Toya, joined the gathering. Siam Ahmed could not make the trip because of work commitments.
Sharing a photograph from the celebration, Tawsif reflected on the value of lasting friendships, writing that while age and time change, some friendships remind him that many things in life remain beautiful.
Meanwhile, Tawsif will next appear in filmmaker Shihab Shaheen’s web film ‘Cafe Umbrella’, which is streaming on iScreen. The project also features Bidushi Barnita, Nazah Nawar, Partha Sheikh, Amina Islam and Arefin Zillani.
