She was the former general secretary of Bangladesh Film Artistes Association, the organisation of local film artists. She won the National Film Awards twice - Best Actress for Shajghor (2007) and Best Supporting Actress for Chander Moto Bou (2009).[3] As of 2014, she has acted in a total of 35 films, including Pitar Ason, Rickshawalar Prem, Praner Shami, and Porichoi.[2]

Background

Akter earned her bachelor's in computer science from Moscow State University[4] and she then moved to Los Angeles.[4] She learned Kathak dance in Moscow.[2]

Career

Akter debuted in her acting career in 2006.[3]

Akter acted in the films of West Bengal, including Porichoi (2013) with Prosenjit Chatterjee.[2]

In 2017, Akter was elected as an active member of Bangladesh Film Development Corporation.[5]

Akter has been declared as the newly elected general secretary of the BFAA on Saturday February 5, 2022, while her competitor Zayed Khan disqualified by its appellate board.[6] Sheikh Selim lobbied to get her elected Bangladesh Film Artistes Association.[7] But on 2 March 2022, High Court declared Zayed Khan as rightfully elected general secretary of BFFA.[8] On 21 November 2022, The Appellate Division suspended the High Court verdict. As a result of this order, Akter remained as the general secretary of BFAA.[9]

But she eventually did not get the nomination.[11] Nipun is very close and a personal friend of veteran politician Sheikh Selim, who made 17 calls to get Nipun elected as the BFAA secretary.
