Aruna Biswas, once a popular film actress, has left country secretly. She went to Toronto in Canada to her son Shuddha.
Close associates of Aruna Biswas confirmed her departure from the country. She left Dhaka for Canada after the fall of Sheikh Hasina government.
EX-prime minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country on August 5, after weeks of protests against a quota system for government jobs.
On Tuesday, social media was abuzz with screenshots from a WhatsApp group called 'Alo Ashbei,' where several artistes and journalists were seen commenting on the anti-discrimination protests led by students in July.
The leaked conversations quickly sparked public interest and debate, shedding light on some of the artistes' perspectives during the heated demonstrations.
On August 4, during the violent incidents at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) where vehicles were vandalised and set ablaze, former Censor Board member and actress Aruna Biswas made a controversial comment, suggesting, "Pour hot water on them."
When asked, Aruna Biswas admitted to making those remarks. She clarified that her comment was misinterpreted and that she was referring to those responsible for the vandalism, whom she claimed were members of 'Jamat-Shibir'.
This incendiary remark quickly ignited a backlash within the entertainment fraternity, fueling intense debate and criticism.
An actor of the Dhallywood film industry who is currently staying in Canada, told media that Aruna Biswas is now staying in Canada. She left Bangladesh secretly after the fall of Hasina government.
