Faridur Reza Sagor
Khaleda Fahmi also could add her name in producing bigger programs along with the prominent producers such as Jamil Chowdhury, Kalim Sharafi, Manirul Alam, Zaman Ali Khan, and Mustafa Monowar. She actually used to produce programs for children. She also gave the idea of making drama series for children. She was even the producer of the first ever drama series for children named “BhaiBon”. Apart from that she also used to make the drama series named “Omor Jibon” which used to show stories based on the legends' biography. Many famous actors and actresses of this age had worked in “Omor Jibon”. Some of the episodes of “Omor Jibon” had been produced by Khaleda Fahmi's younger brother Waliullah Fahmi. Currently Waliullah Fahmi is working at Voice of America in Washington. Khaleda Fahmi was also the producer of the program named “Bolun Dekhi” that had been anchored by Professor Abdul Matin. It has to be mentioned that a national competition has been held in all the television centers of the whole Pakistan addressing only this program that has been planned by Khaleda Fahmi.
The main competition had been held in Rawalpindi television center. Dhaka College has enlightened the name of East Pakistan by being the winner in that competition.
Many students from colleges and universities have participated in the program “Bolun Dekhi” which has let them to participate in many programs at television on later.
And television means the program for only the people living in the city, television means drawing-room media – Khaleda Fahmi has proved these words are false. She started making a folk story based drama called “Hiramon” with folk culture and folk music.
There used to have some songs with the drama episodes of Hiramon. Hiramon could get enough popularity while in cinema world Rupban or folk based stories were being enjoyed by the audiences. Musa Ahmed has worked as a producer for most of the episodes.
Khaleda Fahmi is planning, discussing with Mustafa Monowar, might be producing the program with a junior producer. But, it will be seen after searching that the scripts of the programs for the children at that time have written by the prominent writers such as Munir Chowdhury, Anis Chowdhury and Ashkar Ibn Shaikh. Persons like Pollikobi Jashim Uddin, Begum Sufia Kamal, Jainul Abedin, and Abdullah Al Muti have come to children programs several times as guests. Though Jashim Uddin was a poet (Pollikobi) but he told many stories to the children in their program. Although poet like Ahsan Habib also told many stories for children. People like Bagban bhai Habibur Rahman, Dadabhai Rokonujjaman Khan and Dadubhai Rafiqul Haque were involved with children based program. But now, do we see the people in any children based program those who are not related to that?
At that time person like Dr. Kudrat – E – Khuda has come to the program for children as a guest. People like Jainul Abedin and Kamrul Hasan also used to attend the children based program.
The idea of bringing so many prominent personalities to perform in the children based programs has been portrayed by Khaleda Fahmi. Apart from that Mustafa Monowar also has crucial contributions regarding children based programs. But when Khaleda Fahmi was the head of the program in television she used to take care of the children based programs regularly.
