Early life

Pori Moni was born on 24 October 1992 as Smriti Shamsunnahar[4][5] in the Satkhira District. After losing her parents in childhood, she grew up in her maternal grandparents' house in Pirojpur, where she received her secondary and higher secondary school certificates.[6]

Career

Pori Moni's first film, Rana Plaza, based on the Rana Plaza disaster,[7] was denied certification by the Bangladesh Film Censor Board, who stated that it was a national disaster that people may misunderstand.[8] Her second film Bhalobasha Shimaheen was released on 13 February 2015. She co-starred with Shakib Khan in Aro Bhalobashbo Tomay and Dhumketu.[9]

Personal life

Pori Moni married her cousin Ismail Hossain in 2010 and divorced him in 2012.[10] She then married footballer Ferdous Kabir Sourav in April 2012.[11] In 2019, Pori was engaged to RJ Tamim Hasan, but later they broke up.[12][13][14] In March 2020, she married film director Kamruzzaman Roni.[15]

Controversies

On June 8, 2021, Pori Moni accused Nasir Uddin Mahmood, a businessman and politician of the Jatiya Party, of sexual assault on her at the Boat Club in Ashulia, Uttara.[16][17] She asked Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for justice on Facebook.[18][19] On June 14, Mahmood and businessman Tuhin Siddique Omi were arrested by the Bangladesh Police,[20] but Mahmood was later released on bail.[21][22] A week later, Moni was accused of vandalism at the Gulshan All Community Club. The club's president, K.M. Alamgir Iqbal, accused her of vandalizing the club on June 7 night at a press conference.[23][24]

Detention

On 4 August 2021, the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) raided Moni's house in Banani. She was arrested on alleged charges of possessing lysergic acid diethylamide, crystal methamphetamine, and 30 bottles of foreign liquor from the house.[25][26][27][28] On 5 August, Dhaka court magistrate Mamunur Rashid granted a four-day remand against Pori Moni, film producer Nazrul Islam Raj, and two of their associates in connection with separate narcotics cases filed under the Narcotics Control Act 1990.[29][30][31][32][33]

On 31 August, Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge KM Imrul Kayes granted Pori Moni bail and she was released the next morning after 27 days of detention.[34][35]
