I’ve Seen a Lot; Everything Will Come to Light One Day: Tanjin Tisha

Actresses Tanjin Tisha and Samia Othoi have had their memberships suspended indefinitely by the Actors’ Association of Bangladesh following allegations of physical assault on a shooting set and subsequent exchanges of accusations.

Shortly after the decision was announced, Tanjin Tisha went live on social media to share her reaction. Referring to various controversies surrounding her over the past year, she said, “I’ve seen a lot. One day, everything will come to light.”

On October 4, the Actors’ Association sent letters to both actresses. Earlier, on July 7, they had been served show-cause notices regarding the possible suspension of their memberships. However, neither actress responded to the notices.

The association had made several attempts to resolve the dispute between the two actresses. However, following their lack of response, it decided to suspend their memberships indefinitely.

In her live broadcast, Tisha discussed the incident on the shooting set, the mediation meetings organised by the association and the reasons behind the suspension of her membership. She also shared her experiences from the past few months.

Tisha claimed that everyone present on the shooting set had witnessed what happened that day.

“I played the role of a mentally unstable person, and you all saw that. Nothing was edited or cut. You will be able to understand who improvised first, who attacked first, and who attacked someone before claiming to be the victim,” she said.

Tisha also spoke about the mediation meeting organised by the Actors’ Association after the incident. According to her, both actresses had been asked to issue apology statements and submit video messages.

“They told us both to apologise through statements and send video messages. She (Samia Othoi) did not submit the video. I also could not submit mine for some reason. Today, I have received a letter suspending my membership because I did not comply with the notice. Fine,” Tisha said.

The actress also expressed her views on making professional disputes public through social media. In her opinion, attempts to publicly humiliate someone or damage their career instead of resolving professional disagreements are unacceptable.

Referring to controversies surrounding her over the past year, Tisha said, “I’ve seen a lot over the past year, including the sari controversy. Whether today or tomorrow, everything will come out in the open. I’m just waiting for that day. For the past eight months, no matter what obstacles I’ve faced or what has happened, I haven’t stopped. I won’t stop. I won’t give up. I can say this with such confidence because I know I haven’t done anything wrong.”
