Actress Sumaiya Shimu Discusses Personal Life and Return to Acting
Bangladeshi actress Sumaiya Shimu has opened up about her family, parents, and personal life in a recent podcast interview. She also discussed her return to the screen in an upcoming drama directed by Muhammad Mustafa Kamal Raj.

Renowned Bangladeshi actress Sumaiya Shimu has recently shared intimate details about her personal life, her beloved parents, and her much-anticipated return to the acting world during a candid appearance on a podcast. The actress, whose career has spanned numerous memorable roles, offered fans a rare glimpse into her private world, discussing the profound impact her family continues to have on her life and daily routine.
During the podcast, Sumaiya Shimu reflected deeply on the unwavering dedication of her mother, Laila Rahman. Describing the immense value of a mother, the actress noted that only a child truly understands what a priceless treasure a mother represents in one's life. She shared moving observations about how her mother, despite advancing age and a physical capacity that has diminished compared to earlier years, still tries to care for her. Sumaiya Shimu touchingly contrasted her own current experience as a mother running after her twins with food with the reality that her own mother still runs after her with meals.
The conversation also turned to deeply emotional reflections regarding her late father, Atiar Rahman. Sumaiya Shimu revealed that she misses her father at every single moment of her life. She explained that her father passed away when she had just stepped into a new chapter of life, having been married to Nazrul Islam for only a few months. Because of her father's illness at the time, her wedding ceremony had been organized in a hurried manner. The actress described how triggers in her everyday environment constantly bring back painful memories of his final days, noting that whenever an ambulance passes by on the street, she immediately thinks of her father, recalling the last time he rode in an ambulance and never returned alive.
Those poignant memories are further compounded by her physical surroundings in Bangladesh. Sumaiya Shimu mentioned that she regularly travels past the very hospital where her father received medical treatment while he was ill. Whenever she passes by the front of that hospital, her father's face vividly comes to mind, illustrating the lingering grief she carries alongside her daily responsibilities and professional commitments in the entertainment industry.
Alongside these personal reflections, the podcast conversation marked an exciting professional milestone for the actress's devoted fanbase. Sumaiya Shimu is officially making her return to acting through an upcoming production titled the drama 'Fire Asar Golpo'. This highly anticipated television project is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Muhammad Mustafa Kamal Raj, bringing the talented actress back to the screen after a period focused on her family life.
The actress's life has reached several significant personal milestones in recent years, laying the foundation for her current balance between motherhood and her revived career. Sumaiya Shimu married Nazrul Islam back in August 2015, and the couple later welcomed children into their family, becoming the mother of twins in the year 2023. Now, as she steps back in front of the cameras for 'Fire Asar Golpo', she continues to navigate the profound joys of motherhood and the enduring memories of her parents.
