Making Ityadi | Behind the scenes of the foreigners segment ইত্যাদি

✨OFFICIAL SELECTION ✨| 24th Dhaka International Film Festival 2026

My son and I acted in a Bangladeshi drama segment of a TV show called "Ityadi". This is an exclusive look behind the scenes of what it's really like acting on the iconic show for the famous foreigner segment created by Hanif Sanket.


What happens when an Aussie dad and his son land acting roles on Bangladesh’s biggest TV show? 🇧🇩🎥
In this video, my son Hugo and I take you behind the scenes of Ityadi — the longest-running and most-watched television show in Bangladesh, hosted by the legendary Hanif Sanket. From learning Bangla lines and Bollywood-style dance moves to filming among the roses in the National Botanical Gardens, this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 🌸🎬

With over 150 million viewers tuning in across the country, Ityadi is more than just a TV show — it’s a national tradition, aired every Eid and loved by generations of Bangladeshis. Hugo and I were thrilled to be part of the iconic foreigner segment, where visitors get to play local villagers and celebrate Bangladesh’s vibrant culture. 🇦🇺🤝🇧🇩

Watch as we fumble through dance rehearsals, spot paparazzi, and get a glimpse of what it’s really like filming on the set of one of the world’s most-watched variety shows.
