Dhallywood actress Apu Biswas has said that having haters can be a blessing for a star because negative attention often keeps celebrities in the spotlight.
“A star having haters is somewhat of a blessing. They are one of the reasons a star remains in discussion. Audiences also tend to watch negative things more,” Apu said while appearing on choreographer Quadery Mahfuz’s podcast Coffee With Quadery.
Produced by Mazharul Islam Rajib and organised by MKM Travel and Tour, the podcast features Apu as its first guest. During the conversation, she discussed different aspects of her personal life and acting career, as well as social media, trends, public discussions, criticism and her experiences as a celebrity.
Apu also spoke about difficult periods in her life, including the experience of continuing to work on a shooting day when her father died. She shared several memories from her professional journey during the conversation.
Quadery Mahfuz said he had been working with celebrities on their styles and looks for a long time and had gathered various experiences through that work.
He said the podcast would explore celebrities’ personal lives, careers and styles, adding that he was pleased to have Apu Biswas as the first guest and planned to bring more stars to the programme.
Kibria Chanchal designed the set, while Neel Mua handled the makeover and Azran styled Mahfuz’s outfit. Bihon and Sufian worked as cinematographers, while Rony Shikdar Jitu handled editing and colour grading. Faisal Hasan directed the podcast.
A promo for Coffee With Quadery has already been released on MKM Multimedia’s official YouTube channel. Producer Mazharul Islam Rajib said the first episode will be released on the same channel on 30 September.
