Lionel Messi made history yesterday, becoming the tournament’s all-time leading goalscorer after netting his 17th World Cup goal during Argentina’s Group J match against Austria at Dallas Stadium.

While the dominant display on the pitch left fans in the stadium ecstatic, the excitement quickly spilled over onto social media, with local showbiz stars joining in the celebrations.

Among the new generation of television performers, Keya Payel has steadily built a reputation through a diverse body of work. While she remains active in modelling, acting continues to be her primary focus. This Eid-ul-Azha, the actress appears in nine different television dramas, each featuring a distinct character.

Directed by Mohammad Mostafa Kamal Raz, “Eta Amaderi Golpo” is currently one of the most talked-about serials, featuring an ensemble cast, including Keya Payel.

While the director's previous television serials such as “Graduate”, “Mic”, and “Chander Nijer Kono Alo Nei” were also well received during their run, this drama has surpassed them all.

Eid is synonymous with joy—a grand celebration that brings people closer to their loved ones. During the holiday, many travel home, while others take the opportunity to vacation elsewhere. Celebrities are no different; they, too, spend Eid in their own ways. Some are abroad, while others remain in Dhaka. Here’s a glimpse of where stars are this Eid.

Will she be watching her own dramas? She laughs, “Of course! Not just mine—I’d like to watch others’ work as well.”

Written and directed by Tarek Rahman, the drama stars Farhan Ahmed Jovan and Keya Akter Payel in lead roles. The production examines the lives of individuals caught in the pursuit of becoming rich through unethical means.

Keya Payel, a rising star in Bangladesh’s showbiz industry, is proving herself to be a versatile talent, balancing both modelling and acting with ease. Over the years, she has built a reputation for capturing the audience's attention, quickly solidifying her place among the newer generation of actors.

Keya Payel expressed her joy, saying, "I am extremely happy to have graduated. My university life was quite short in a way, as a significant part of it was spent during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of that, I couldn’t fully experience university life, which is something I always regret. I have always enjoyed student life the most."

On this special occasion, people celebrate in various ways, making plans and cherishing moments with loved ones. Celebrities, too, share their thoughts on love and what it truly means to them. Here’s what five renowned stars have to say about love.

Payel is also busy filming for “Baji”, which will air on Valentine's Day. Filmed in Kishoreganj, it tells a story set in a small town with a ‘large’ canvas narrative. The rising star further mentioned that she shot for this drama for seven days.

A remake of a widely acclaimed 90s television commercial is currently in production, featuring Nirab Hossain and Keya Payel. The original advertisement, which became a sensation during the decade, starred Nobel and Mou.

For now, Keya’s focus is on dramas rather than films or OTT projects. “I want to stay occupied with dramas. I have plans to film some special projects for Valentine’s Day and the end of the year,” she said

Director Joy Sarkar had announced plans for the film just two days prior, even registering the title with the Directors' Guild and naming Payel as the lead. However, the actress has since dismissed these claims, casting doubt over the future of the production.

For over a decade, Sheikh Hasina's regime was marked by enforced disappearances and brutal torture of political opponents. Hundreds of families in Bangladesh have endured the agonising uncertainty of not knowing the fate of their loved ones. These disappearances, largely targeting critics and political rivals of the Awami League party, are widely believed to have been orchestrated by state agencies during Hasina's 15-year rule.
