Career

Shabnam began her career when her father was accepted into the Bulbul Lalita Academy. In the film "Ei Desh Tomar Amar," a close friend of her father gave her a role in a dance sequence. In the film "Rajdhanir Bukey," she performed as a dancer. The audience demanded that she be cast as a lead actress when the show became a hit. Harano Dino, a heroine who appeared in her Bengali debut film, was back in her debut film as a heroine.

After Ehtesham played her in his Urdu film Chanda in the erstwhile West Pakistan, Shabnam moved to West Pakistan. The rehearsals in Bengali were scheduled because her Urdu wasn't at that point in time. Robin Ghosh, her husband's husband, composed the music for this film. The film, which began her career in the top ranks of the Pakistani film industry, was a huge success.

Shabnam became Pakistan's top-selling actress after appearing in hundreds of super hit films in the 1970s. She held that position until the mid-1980s, when she finally began to retire. She is believed to have been the first female actress in the United States to have consistently and successfully played the romantic lead in films for nearly three decades, from the 1960s to the late 1980s.

Shabnam wanted to visit her native homeland after the Bangladesh Liberation War came to an end. It took her two years to obtain the "No Objection Certificate" that was required for her to obtain a Bangladeshi visa. Later, Lollywood demanded that the Foreign Ministry of Pakistan not grant her a visa because they feared she would not return from Bangladesh. Despite this, she reassured her followers and colleagues that she would not abandon Pakistan and would return to visit her parents. Only then did the Foreign Ministry allow her to leave Pakistan, ensuring that their most popular actress would not leave the country. Around 1988, she switched to character acting and was back in Dhaka and Lahore. Since 1987, she has called London her home. Shabnam left Pakistan and the film industry in the late 1990s. In 1997, she gracefully retired and moved to Bangladesh. She resigned due to her age and her obligation to look after her parents as they entered their senior years, according to her. After her super hit blockbuster film Aaina, she planned on resigning. However, because of the overwhelming number of followers and offers she received in Pakistan, it took her 20 years to complete her last films and then retire.

Shabnam appeared in the film 'Ammajan,' directed by Kazi Hayat after returning to Dhaka and missing two years. She appeared in the central role in the film, which was released in 1999. The film continued to be a smash hit and one of Bangladeshi cinema's most popular films.

In Lollywood, 23 of her Urdu films celebrated diamond jubilees. Shabnam was the protagonist in 12 of those films. Shabnam received 13 Nigar Awards for best actress, which is a record to date.
