Since then, Nova became a regular face on the small screen. Despite she was very ill for more than two weeks and admitted to a hospital, Nova will be seen in several TV plays on the occasion of Eid. She has already acted in five TV plays that are expected to go on air on different television channels. Raihan Khan’s ‘Nashto Sukh’ and ‘Samudre Chandragrohan’ Mizanur Rahman Labu’s ‘Sharto’ and Nazrul Islam’s ‘Nibhrita Nirjane’ are among the plays.

According to Nova, the most challenging role was her character in the play ‘Nibhrita Nirjane’, which deals with the struggle of a single mother.

‘I have played the role of the daughter. Her mother develops a romantic relationship with a person but remain confused whether to move forward with it. RJ-actor Nawsheen played the mother. It was quite hard for both of us, as Nawsheen is only two or three years older than me,’ said Nova.

‘Another funny thing was I had to address actor Apurba as uncle in the play,’ Nova added with a big grin on her face. She had been paired with the popular actor in many TV plays.

In ‘Nashto Sukh’, Nova played a girl who betrays her lover by marrying someone else. Mosharraf Karim has acted against her in the play. And the story of the play ‘Sharto’ centres on the relationship between two sisters. The relationship is strained when both the sisters fall in love with a same guy. About her characters in these plays, Nova said, ‘Honestly, I enjoyed every character I have played, each were different from the others’.

Recently, Nova has completed shooting for a TV commercial for Diamond Melamine which is expected to be on air from this week. The TVC, also featuring Fair & Lovely superhero Sohan Khan, was shoot at the spectacular location of Himchori and Inani beach of Cox’s Bazar.
