I try to pick different types of character for Eid dramas. This Eid was no different. I think I did well.

Prothom Alo: How was your Eid celebration?

Afran Nisho: Fantastic! I stayed home during the vacation. I spent a week with my family. My son has turned four now. We went for outing every day. It was a quality time indeed.

I started shooting for a drama from Saturday. It will be aired on Eid-ul-Adha

Prothom Alo: It's world cup season. Are you enjoying the matches?

Afran Nisho: I am a Brazil supporter. Brazil had a blast in the last match. I totally enjoyed that.

Prothom Alo: ‘Road Number 7, Baari Number 13’ will be aired tonight (Sunday night). When was it filmed?

Afran Nisho: Ooh, it's long back- roughly one and a half year. I don't remember exactly.

Prothom Alo: What is the story about?

Afran Nisho: It’s a family drama. Suzana Zafar wll be seen opposite to me.

Prothom Alo: It is said that you keep fighting with directors during shooting, is it true?

Afran Nisho: My intention is nothing but to boost up the standard of work, even if I really fight with the directors. 

You may have noticed, I constantly work with the directors who I reportedly fought with. That means, the directors also understand why I fight.

Because, at the end of the day both of us want the best out of it.

Prothom Alo: Who do you keep first among Tisha, Zakia Bari Mamo and Mousumi Hamid?

Afran Nisho: I will put Mamo first. Tisha and Mousumi come later

Prothom Alo: How would you rate yourself on a scale of 1-10?

Afran Nisho: Well, I will give 100 out of 10 to myself. I dated my wife for 14 years before marriage.

It all started in 1998. I got married six years ago.
