Joya Ahsan (née Maswood) is a Bangladeshi actress and model. She received the National Film Award of Bangladesh twice for her roles in the movies Guerrilla and Chorabali.
Along with her study Ahsan took a diploma course in Rabindra Sangeet and training in classical music. She first appeared on television when she performed in teledrama Panchami. She modeled for a calendar which caught the eye of Afzal Hossain, who later offered her work on a promotional advertisement of the soft drink Coca-Cola. Afterwards she left modeling and continued with her studies. She joined a newspaper company, Bhorer Kagoj, a national daily of that time rekindling her interest in working in the media. After a brief stint at a children's school she returned to modeling. Then she worked in Giashuddin Selim’s Shongshoy. Besides media, Joya practices crafting and painting, which she demonstrated in art house productions like “Anechy Shurjer Hashi”.
Having started her career as a model in the late 1990s, Ahsan has since worked in numerous television dramas and serials. Ahsan worked in Giashuddin Selim’s Shongshoy and later in Anechy Shurjer Hashi. Directors, among others, opine that one of the reasons behind her success is that she has always been selective about the plot and the character of the plays she was offered. Ahsan's reputation as an actress was founded on the notable roles she played in Kuhok, Labonyo Probha, Horton-er Bibi, Shonkhobash, Hatkura and many more. She has won wide recognition among TV viewers for her role as Aaysha in Anechy Shurjer Hashi and Monika in Labonyo Probha. Her acting skills can be gauged in Toukir Ahmed and Bipasha Hayat's play Shonkhobash in which she played the role of Pushpo which was a bold character according to her. The role Jaya played in Hatkura added another chapter in her career as a performer. Set in the outskirts of a village in Rangpur District. The play was quite a challenge for her. “I had to learn the dialect of Rangpur for the role. Actually, I had never been to a village before that. And it was a completely new experience for me” she said. In 2010-2011 ongoing serial Choita Pagol aired on Channel i, Jaya played the role of Alta, who is also a rural woman. Jaya said “Alta is one of my favourite characters. I liked playing the role.” Her another outstanding performance in Mejbaur Rahman Sumon's Tarporo Angurlata Nondoke Bhalobashe also made her way to the top and cemented her position as an actress.
She portrayed various characters in teledramas including Sixty Nine (69), Tevaga, Shahortolir Alo, Tarpor Paruler Deen, Amader Choto Nodi, Mayesha, Jostna, Nodi Othoba Roshider Kichu Kolpo Drisyo and many more. Her stunning performances one after one made her most popular leading actress and she became the highest paid actress in the television industry of Bangladesh.
