Journey to stardom

Mehazabien Chowdhury from Chittagong is the new Lux Channel i Superstar. The graceful young woman was declared winner on January 22 at the grand finale of 'Lux Channel i Superstar 2009', held at Bangabandhu International Convention Centre.
The journey to stardom has been arduous for Mehazabien. "Constant challenges and difficulties, where each and every contestant was tested to the ultimate," is how she describes it.
"When my name was announced as the winner, I went completely blank for two/three seconds as I simply couldn't believe what I was hearing; it took me a few seconds to get over it," said Mehazabien, recalling her crowing moment.
Though born in Bangladesh, Mehazabien was raised in Muscat, Oman. "Because of my father's work my parents had to move to Muscat when I was about one year old," said Mehazabien.
"As I grew up, I discovered a fascination towards acting. I used to take part in the cultural programmes at school. Teachers inspired and encouraged me to attend the school programmes regularly.
"The biggest support came from my family, which was very important in those formative years. As I grew up, my parents' support helped me to become more confident in my approach.
"From the age of 13, I started working as a model for the Times of Oman and continued till I moved to Bangladesh in 2007.
"When I first heard of the Lux Channel i Superstar contest I was fascinated to learn that a pageant of such calibre is held in our country. I wanted to take part at the contest immediately but as one has to be at least 18 years old to enter the contest, I did not qualify.
"As I turned 18 in 2009, I was able to take part in the contest. On October 13, 2009, while I was going to my tutor, I changed my mind and went straight to the auditions," said Mehazabien, who is currently doing her A- Levels. ( see more hot pictures click me)
"At the auditions I faced Shihab Shaheen and Farah Ruma," Mehazabien continued.
Recalling her days at the grooming camp, Mehazabien said, "I learned a lot at the camp. I attended special classes on catwalk, acting, dancing, verbal and communication skills and more to bring the out best in the contestants.
"The things I have learned at the camp will continue to play a major role in developing my acting career in the future."
Sharing her future plans, Mehazabien said, "I want to develop my career as a successful actress; currently I am looking forward to my upcoming film and the scholarship I won as part of the award."
Mehazabien was awarded a brand new car, a scholarship to attend acting school and a film contract as part of the Lux Channel i Superstar Award.
