Career

2010–2014: Modelling and Television Debut

Nur began her professional career in 2010 through modelling and television commercials. Her early work included a Grameenphone photoshoot, which led to further advertising assignments. She subsequently appeared in commercials for several brands, including Nescafé, Singer, Regent Airways, PRAN and Igloo.

Although she initially focused on modelling rather than acting, her experience in front of the camera gradually led her towards television productions. Director Adnan Al Rajeev played a role in introducing her to the media industry, while filmmaker Redoan Rony later offered her an acting opportunity.

In 2014, Nur made her acting debut in the telefilm U-Turn, directed by Redoan Rony. Her performance brought her recognition and helped establish her as a newcomer in the Bangladeshi television industry.

2015: Breakthrough with Monkey Bizness

Nur’s breakthrough came in 2015 with the romantic comedy telefilm Monkey Bizness. She portrayed the character known as the Imaginary Girl, a performance that attracted considerable attention from television audiences.

The production also featured her singing the song “Jajabor Pakna”. Although she received positive responses for her singing, Nur explained in an interview that she did not consider herself primarily a singer and preferred to concentrate on acting.

The success of Monkey Bizness, together with her earlier performance in U-Turn, helped increase her popularity and brought her more opportunities in television dramas and commercials.

2016–2018: Television Success and Hosting

Following her breakthrough, Nur appeared in a number of television dramas, telefilms and serials. Her projects included Teen Teen, Shoto Danar Projapoti, Jonakir Alo, Three Friends, Love & Co., Polayon Bidya and Basic Ali.

In the television adaptation of the popular comic strip Basic Ali, she portrayed Ria opposite Tawsif Mahbub, who played the title character. The project received attention for bringing a well-known Bangladeshi comic strip to television.

Alongside acting, Nur also worked as a television presenter. She hosted Gazi TV’s teen-band competition programme GTV Fanta Band and appeared as a host on Banglavision’s Lux Style Fine.

Her work across advertising, television drama and presenting helped establish her as one of the recognisable young performers in Bangladeshi entertainment.

2018–2020: Bachelor Point and Web Projects

Nur gained further popularity through her role as Nabila in the Bangladeshi television sitcom Bachelor Point. Created and directed by Kajal Arefin Ome, the series follows the everyday lives, friendships and relationships of young men living together in a bachelor apartment in Dhaka.

Her portrayal of Nabila became one of her best-known television roles. The series attracted a large audience and contributed to her growing popularity.

In 2019, Nur made her web-series debut with Wedding Bells, directed by Ehsan Kabir, in which she appeared alongside Pritom Hasan. The story revolves around weddings and relationships.

She continued working in television productions, including the second season of Bachelor Point, while also appearing in special telefilms and other screen projects.

In 2023, Nur was reported to be preparing for a feature-film project titled A Clueless Murder, directed by Noyeem Imtiaz Neamul and featuring Afran Nisho. However, the project’s final release status and her completed screen credit should be confirmed before it is included as a released film.
