Bangladeshi actress Pori Moni is opening up about the priorities that have shaped her life in recent years, revealing that motherhood has changed the way she approaches both money and her career.
The actress, who has more than 16 million followers on Facebook, is set to appear in the 10th episode of Maasranga Television’s popular podcast ‘Behind the Fame with RRK’. The 100-minute special is scheduled to air on Maasranga Television and Radio Din Raat 93.6 FM at 9:00 pm today.
During the conversation with host Rumman Rashid Khan, Pori Moni spoke candidly about her career, family and the responsibilities she now places at the centre of her life.
‘I Work With a Lot of Consideration Now’
Pori Moni said her approach to work has changed considerably since becoming a mother.
“Now I work with a lot of consideration, something I didn’t do before,” she said, explaining that her children have played a major role in changing her outlook.
The actress also spoke about becoming more financially disciplined. She revealed that she had not previously been able to maintain savings but now puts money aside every month for her children.
“I had no savings until now. But these days, I save money every month for my children. Even if I earn just two taka, I want them to enjoy it when they grow up,” she shared.
Her comments reflect a different side of the actress, whose public image has often been associated with her outspoken personality and glamorous screen presence.
Pori Moni’s Promise to Her Children
Pori Moni is the mother of Punya and Priyam, and she spoke about motherhood with her characteristic sense of humour.
“I’m now the mother of Punya and Priyam, but I want to be the mother of 98 more, a mother of 100 children in total!” she joked.
Behind the humour, however, was a serious message about the kind of parent she hopes to be.
She said she wants to raise her children well and hopes they grow up to become good human beings. She also expressed her wish that they will have financial security in the future.
“A person or an actress named Pori Moni may fail in many ways, but as a mother, I will never let myself fail,” she said.
The statement offered one of the most personal glimpses into how the actress now views success—not simply through her career, but through her responsibilities as a parent.
She Once Gave Up Dance Classes After Seeing Sadia Islam Mou
Pori Moni also looked back at the period before she entered the film industry.
She revealed that she had once enrolled in a dance school, hoping to develop her skills. However, seeing the talent of celebrated dancer and actress Sadia Islam Mou left her feeling intimidated.
According to Pori Moni, the experience was enough to make her lose confidence, and she ultimately did not return to the dance classes.
The anecdote offers a glimpse into an earlier stage of her journey, before she established herself as one of Bangladesh’s prominent film actresses.
Cooking for 2,500 People in Memory of Her Grandfather
The actress also recalled an emotional family occasion connected to the death anniversary of her beloved grandfather in Barishal.
On the occasion, Pori Moni personally cooked beef for around 2,500 people and remained involved in overseeing the entire feast.
The gesture highlighted the importance of family traditions in her life and her continuing attachment to her grandfather.

Pori Moni’s appearance on ‘Behind the Fame with RRK’ appears to offer audiences a more reflective perspective on the actress—one that goes beyond her film career and public persona.
