Raj Reepa Makes Explosive Remarks About Director Iftekhar Chowdhury, Announces Exit from Media

Bangladeshi film’s rising actress Raj Reepa has announced her decision to leave the media industry, making strong allegations against filmmaker Iftekhar Chowdhury. Before stepping into acting, Raj Reepa was a member of the Bangladesh National Badminton Team (U-18) and had been a champion in the Khulna division. However, she left badminton to pursue a career in cinema.

Her acting journey began in 2020 with a small role in the film Dohon. Earlier this year, her film Moyna was released, while another project Mukti remains unfinished despite years of work. Frustrated over the delay, Reepa openly expressed her anger towards director Iftekhar Chowdhury.

Taking to her verified Facebook account, Reepa declared that she is preparing to leave the industry:This industry is not for someone like me. For seven years, I have walked this path alone. After facing both good and bad, I have finally taken this decision. I owe nothing to anyone, but there are some accounts left unsettled with director Iftekhar Chowdhury. Either he will clear them, or he will forcefully push me aside.”

She alleged that she had been mentally distressed while trying to push forward the Mukti project for the past four years:f it were someone else in my place, they might have broken down long ago. I have suffered repeated depression but stood up again on my own. How much patience can one have? It is the director’s responsibility to arrange sponsors, not the actor’s. Still, I tried, but failed. He promised to make me a heroine, but thought only of his own interests.”

Reepa further claimed that in the last eight years, the director had failed to complete any major project. Mukti remains his only ongoing film, which is stalled under various excuses. She also alleged that she received threats from Chowdhury:The director told me he could even destroy the film’s hard disk if he wanted, leaving nothing behind.”

Expressing disappointment, Raj Reepa said:i know Allah will judge one day. But this city and this industry are not for me. Today, I am burying many of my dreams. Perhaps, like me, countless dreamers give up in the face of betrayal.
