Actress Purnima discusses humor, football fandom, and social media reactions

Dilara Hanif Purnima, a prominent Bangladeshi actress, recently shared insights into her personal life and perspectives in an interview. When asked about her name, she humorously suggested 'Purnima-Ma' for a girl and 'Purnima-Baba' for a boy. Purnima views acting in a broader sense, stating she acts positively with everyone to create a good impression, even if she is feeling down. She explained that she avoids telling jokes in situations where she anticipates no laughter, believing her jokes have inherent value, especially coming from her.

Purnima revealed her long-standing support for Argentina, stemming from childhood exposure to World Cup matches and local community decorations. She noted the influence of football legends like Maradona and Messi, and how neighborhood rivalries in decorating buildings with team colors solidified her allegiance. She also mentioned her family's support for Argentina as a contributing factor. Purnima humorously stated that Messi and Maradona are unique to Argentina, unlike Brazil. Her husband is also an Argentina supporter, and she credits him with increasing her own enthusiasm for the sport, leading her to wear jerseys and actively follow games.

When asked about cooking for Lionel Messi, Purnima expressed a desire to meet him first and understand his preferences before deciding on a meal, admitting she might be too star-struck to cook. She admires the sense of humor of her friends Ferdous and Shibli Mohammad, from whom she learned to tell jokes. Purnima also shared her frustration with social media reactions, particularly the misuse of the 'haha' reaction on sad posts, and expressed a desire to question users about their choices. She finds rumors about her age amusing, especially when exaggerated.
