Chowdhury Jawata Afnan is a Bangladeshi film and television actor. He entered the entertainment industry through films and later acted in dramas. He made his film debut with the 2011 Bangladeshi war-based film Amar Bondhu Rashed.[2] The film, based on the Muhammed Zafar Iqbal novel of the same name, was directed by Morshedul Islam with funding from the Government of Bangladesh.[3][4] He played the lead role of Rashed in the film, for which he received wide praise from the audience.
Afnan was born into a Muslim family in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on 29 August, 1994. He completed his SSC in 2012 from Dhanmondi Government Boys' High School and HSC in 2014 from Dhaka City College. He was a BBA student (2015–2019) at North South University.
Although Afnan had an interest in acting from childhood, he did not get the opportunity. He was a fan of Hollywood films from an early age, with his favorite fictional character being Batman. While he was still in school, director Morshedul Islam came for auditions for the film Amar Bondhu Rashed. This gave him his first acting opportunity. Later, he appeared in various commercials, dramas, and telefilms.[5]
