Nandit hero of the nineties Bapparaj. The song of Virah on his lips in the film still touches the hearts of the audience. He is not very active in acting now, but he is running for the presidency of the Bangladesh Film Artists Association this year. When asked about his memories of Eid, Bapparaj said, “Dad was there during Eid as a child. We used to go to market together to buy cows. On the morning of Qurbani Eid, Abba would sit in front of the gate and distribute the meat himself. There was no small-big, known-unknown matter here. Dad used to do it with his own hands.''
“Now there is no father. I went to Samrat Hat and bought cows. I distribute meat in front of the house in the afternoon on the day of Eid. It was a formal matter when Abba was alive. Eg: Bowls were made, people used to come. Now these things don't happen anymore.''
Baba means Nayakraj Razzak. When asked about any special moment he spent with his father, Bapparaj said, “I used to stay with my father on Eid al-Adha. I mean every Eid al-Adha is the same, but those are the things we miss. Because there is no one. That place is no longer full.
Recalling the funny incident while buying cows at the market, he said, “After my father died, I went to the cow market at 300 feet. An older person from our circle of friends was with me. Seeing him, many people think that he is my father. Many people were saying, 'Why did he look like that?' In fact, many people in the village do not know that my father has died.
Children get important lessons about life from father. Nayakraj's family was no exception. Bapparaj said, “Abba always said one thing about our profession, never go into politics. Be it in films or elsewhere. Politicians may be your friends, you may have good relations with them, but physically means professionally you will never go into politics. Because you are an artist, you belong to everyone. As that team will love you, this team will also love you. And when you move to a group, it means that your professional running situation will be in crisis. Eg: You do 10 movies a year, and also work for a group. Then the opposition party will not like you. They will say, 'This is from that party.' In fact, it is the audience's emotion towards artists. They think that this man is mine. Whoever sees, he does not like the man, even then that man is his, but then that emotion decreases; Fascination also decreases.''

“We have this group, that group from the professional place here. I think it is not right. If you do politics after retirement, that's another matter. It creates a different image,'' said Bapparaj.
Bapparaj is far away from movies. He will fight for the post of president in the elections of the Film Association. So he is coming to politics? Bapparaj said, “I don't understand politics. It doesn't seem very clean to me. Politics don't go with me. Because I'm a straight man. To me, what is white is white, what is black is black. But in politics, what is needed is what needs to be done. That is, if necessary, white becomes black. This thing is not possible for me.''
