‘Drinking tea with my mother was precocity’, Mou in childhood stories

Entertainment Report :

Actress Sadia Islam Mou, also one of the most popular models and dancers in Bangladesh, recently shared her childhood and adolescence experiences with her fans in a podcast.

There, she said that her mother raised her and her sister with great care.
She considered wearing salwar-kameez and drinking tea to be ‘pakanami’ (precocity). Because of this, they had to wear frocks until they were very old.

“When it rained in our house, we had to ask our mother for permission, saying, ‘Mom, it’s cold, don’t you want to wear a salwar-kameez?’ And when it came to drinking tea, our mother would say, “These are precocity (‘paknami’).”

Mou also said that she did not have a salwar-kameez until she was in ninth or tenth grade. She had to wear a skirt to dance classes.

One day, when Mou wore a skirt to a Kathak class at BAFA (Bangladesh Academy of Fine Arts), noted dancer Shibli Mohammad called her over and said that she could not wear a skirt to class.

In Mou’s words, “Shibli Bhai told me for good because there were a lot of bad people standing outside the gate.”

Hearing Shibli Bhai’s words, Mou returned home and cried to her mother, telling her that she needed her own salwar-kameez. After that, she was allowed to wear a salwar-kameez.

According to Mou, this incident gave her the first sense of growing up in her life. At one point in the podcast, the host jokingly said, “So the secret to Mou’s beauty is not eating sugar?” Mou then burst into laughter upon hearing this.
