She did not signe any movie after that and thought to have retired after getting married in 2015.

Career

Shahara started her career in 2004 with the film Rukhe Darao.[1] Shahara was a superb addition to Bangladeshi film industry during the days action films in the middle part of last decade. Her start in the film industry was not a smooth ride. "Rukhe Darao", her first movie, did not do well in the box office as she was deemed to be too conservative for films. She was under pressure to change this tag and appeared in a bolder role in her next movie "Varate Khuni". The movie did not fare well but Shahara caught the eyes as she shed clothes, flaunted skin in exotic revealing outfits. This change in appearance brought her the break she wanted. She signed a plethora of new action films, the most coveted genre of that era. One of them named "Bishakto Chokh", a big budget movie starring super star Rubel and Reaz, was the film that brought her fame and also raised a few eyebrows. Shahara shelved her conservative tag completely and even appeared in lingerie in front of the camera in a smoking hot song with superstar Rubel. This movie brought her acclaim and also established her as a bombshell in the film industry. As an after effect, she landed several roles as a glamour girl. Shahara's stock rose as her acting and sexy presence wooed the audience. She concentrated on doing smoking hot romantic songs with co actor, particularly Alek Zander Bo, and also item numbers. "Order", "Lucky Seven", "Damn Care", "Tin Badshah" and "Shanto keno Oshanto", alongside co actor Alexander Bo, are some of the movies that stood out in the box office.Chondrima ei Raate from the movie "Order" was one of the most sensational songs of that era, where Shahara, wearing only a tinny towel, was struggling to cover up her body and squirming on a bed as co actor was ogling at her. This song brought her tremendous success as more and more directors were interested in taking her in their movies. She was a leading action film heroine at the end of the year 2005. In 2008, the demand of romantic flick was at all-time high and Shahara, mainly an action film heroine, was thought be in trouble. But she once again proved everyone wrong and starred in blockbuster "Priya Amar Priya". This is one of the highest-grossing movies in Bangladeshi film industry. This hit made Shahara the most sought after actress in the country. She never looked back from that. She became the number one heroine of the country within three years and inscribed her name in Bangladeshi film folklore.
