Both are members of Spardha: Independent Theatre Collective. They became friends while working together on stage, and the relationship later led to marriage.
Mohsina told Prothom Alo today, “He is a sensitive person. The way I am and the way I see people and society, he sees them in much the same way. So we have decided to embark on this journey together.”

He has also acted in the plays ‘Jibon O Rajnoitik Bastobota’, ‘4.48 Mantras’ and ‘Ami Birangona Bolchi’. Irfan is expected to go to the University of Greenwich in London soon to study film production.
