Farah grew up in Chittagong. “I was quite mischievous as a child. But I was also solidly grounded in the sense that I could always differentiate right from wrong and act accordingly,” says Farah. In 1990 she moved to Dhaka and started taking dance lessons. That turned out to be fortuitous for the young girl as her dance teacher persuaded her to take up modelling.
Farah continues, “I considered myself smart and fashionable. I began walking the ramps and met many renowned personalities, Bibi Russel being one of them.” Farah went on to become one of the top models of the country in late '90s.
In 1997, Farah firmly established her position in the glamour industry by becoming the Lux Anondodhara Photoshundori. Since then there has been no stopping her and Farah started to work in a large number of ads. Farah says, “I did not take my career seriously back then. I was busy concentrating on my studies and had no idea what the future had in store for me. It was Afzal bhai who said that I had the looks and talent and suggested that I make use of my potential.”
Farah entered the TV industry with a bang, impressing both the audience and critics with her promising portrayal of a role opposite actor-director Afzal Hossain in a play called "Shankho" (written by Anisul Haque and directed by Afzal Hossain).
Farah kept a low profile for a year or two and came back with another memorable performance in the play, "Shubho Drishti" in 2004. “I consider this to be one of my finest works. I have continued acting since then,” she says. Farah has done many challenging roles in her career and has proved her talent. She has also worked with a number of prominent stars in the industry and her performances have always been widely appreciated.
Farah Ruma has proven that an effective model can be an effusive actor too!
