'If you run around in the lust of popularity, you will see that the account of receipts has remained empty. So, I have always followed the words of senior artists, do whatever pleases your artistic self. Because of this, the lure of fame never touched me. So, in everything we do, there is always an attempt to leave a mark of a certain time in addition to highlighting the innovation. He was trying to manage. I got into management out of my own love. Kusum Shikder heard such thoughts about directing.

Kusum Shikder

Apart from being an actress, Kusum is known as a model, singer and even a writer. He came to the direction with the movie 'Sharater Jaba'. Apart from directing and producing the movie, he also wrote the screenplay and played an important role.

The movie will release tomorrow on the occasion of Durga Puja. Kusum Shikder said, 'I have made the movie with great care. I could build it in three months if I wanted. It took about a year to make. I wanted my first movie to be seen by the audience. For this reason, I was looking for a festival time. That is why I am releasing it on Durga Puja.'

There is a short story called 'Sharater Jaba' in the storybook 'Ajagatik Chhaya' written by the actress. From that story, the movie was named 'Sharater Jaba'. Yash Rohan acted opposite Kusum Shikder in the movie. They worked together for the first time.

Talking about her work experience, the actress-producer said, 'I did the work directly related to everything in the movie. Scripted, edited, color grading, sound design, everything had to be done by myself. Only acting was learned, the rest was not learned. Actions are both joyous and painful. Raising the movie like a child from scratch. I am learning a lot. These experiences as an actress were new and the task as a director was challenging. But I'm also enjoying it.'

You are an actress, later in production. What do you think, directing or acting is difficult? 'I think producing is a bit harder than acting. Realized this while managing. When an actor takes part in a work, he thinks only of his performance. But a producer has to look after every step of the production right from the performance of the actors. There are many challenges' – said Kusum Shikder.

The National Film Award winning actress said that she will release the video of the song soon after the release of 'Sharater Jaba'. Apart from acting in movies, he is interested in working in OTT. Many OTT projects have already been offered. If everything is satisfactory, then he will act.
