Mehjaveen is excited about the news that 'Saba' has made it to the Discovery Program of the Toronto festival. Reacting to herself, the actress said, 'This is my first film. I really wanted to watch the film together in the theater when it was released in Bangladesh. But before that the film got the opportunity to release in the international arena. It was beyond my imagination to be nominated at a major festival like Toronto, competing with films from around the world. But whatever happens, happens for good. This is a great achievement for our entire team.”

Mehjabeen feels that the screening of his films at this festival will further enrich his career. According to Mehzabeen, "The film is being screened at a big festival, it is my luck as an artiste. A huge career achievement. Now it seems, after a long wait, the decision to choose this story as the first movie was right.

Mehjabeen has been working in entertainment for about 14 years. Although he worked in all mediums including dramas, commercials, OTT, the rest was acting on the big screen. Mehjabeen said, "Even though I worked in various forms of entertainment for a long time, the movie was not being made. Wherever I went, I would face the question, why am I not doing movies? But I was waiting to do the movie. I thought, I want to do the first movie according to my heart. A movie that will be a memory for itself, the audience will also remember for the rest of their lives. The quality of the film, the depth of the story - everything touches the heart of the viewer. I got such a story and character.

Mehjabeen also said, "After hearing the story of the film, I understood myself that this will be my first film. That's how I decided. After a long wait, the decision to do this as the first film was not a mistake, now I get the proof.
