Jannatul Sumaiya Himi (Bengali: জান্নাতুল সুমাইয়া হিমি) is a Bangladeshi actress, model and dancer. She won the Rong-RTV Twenty Twenty Colors Model Search competition in 2014.[1] She made her film debut in Hothat Dekha, in which she played the younger version of a character portrayed by Debashree Roy.[2] She is also known for her work in Bangladeshi television and web dramas, particularly with actor Niloy Alamgir.
Early life and education
Himi developed an interest in acting during her childhood. Her mother used to take her to the television station in Rampura and encouraged her to pursue acting. She began appearing as a child artist and was also involved in dance and ramp modelling.[3]
In 2017, she passed her Higher Secondary Certificate examination from Cambrian College in Dhaka with a GPA of 5.00. She later graduated from North South University with a degree in marketing in 2023, obtaining a CGPA of 3.58 out of 4.00.[4][5]
Career
Himi became publicly known after winning the Rong-RTV Twenty Twenty Colors Model Search competition in 2014. She subsequently worked in television dramas and other entertainment productions.[1]
Her film debut was in the Bengali film Hothat Dekha, based on the poem of the same name by Rabindranath Tagore. In the film, she portrayed the younger version of a character played by Debashree Roy.[2]
In 2017, Himi competed in the Miss World Bangladesh pageant. The pageant's final result became controversial, with contemporary reports differing in their descriptions of the runner-up positions. Jannatul Nayeem Avril was initially declared the winner, but Jessia Islam was later crowned after Avril was dethroned.[6]
