Early life:
Joya Ahsan has sold her emotion to a multinational company as well as her well wisher's emotions. In her early age Joya was attracted to music and dancing. Although her father wanted her to be an employee, Joya was interested in building her career in music and drawing. Besides her studies, she took a diploma course in Rabindra Sangeet and also undertook training in classical music. Her passion about art also carried her along as she made a solo art exhibition of her own. She also opened a music school.
Joya first came to telemedia when she performed a teledrama called 'Panchami'. To perform in the drama, she had to work hard to appease her father. While working on the drama she met one of the leading actors Golam Mustafa. Mustafa asked her to stay in media and insisted that she would do better if she did. In the meantime she modelled in a calendar which caught the eye of Afzal Hossain. They offered her work on a promotional advertisement of a soft drink and she again had to convince her father for that. Afterwards she left modeling and continued with her studies. During that time she used to go the office of Bhorer Kagoj, a renowned national daily of that time, with her friend Tajin Ahmed. Tajin started acting slightly and Joya found her interest back on media again. Then she joined a children’s school and though she enjoyed it, could not continue her modeling. However, for the love of modeling she again left school and resumed modeling which later proved the turning point of her career. There she met Faisal, who himself was a famous model, and they fell in love. Soon they were married, which helped Joya to work more freely and attentively in media.
According to her in past, Faisal inspired her a lot after her marriage. Then she worked in Giashuddin Selim’s Shongshoy and it took her into the spotlight.

What is the one thing you cannot live without?
A ring on my hand that I have been wearing for many years and have not taken off once since I put it on.
What electronic appliance makes your life easier?
In my opinion, electronic appliances do not make my life easier,
rather they complicate it more. I think we are much better off without
such items.
An item you have always wanted to own?
I have always had a fascination towards stone and love collecting stone items.
What was your first job?
Teaching at St. Joseph’s Tutorial.
What do you do to make yourself feel better on a bad day?
If I have a bad day, I tend to do whatever it is I feel like, sometimes I will listen to music or if I have had a misunderstanding with someone, I will talk it out with that person, if I think that will make
things better.
Some thing(s) you don’t like about yourself.
I believe in people and trust them too easily, which sometimes backfires on me.
Certain qualities in people that irritate you.
I love people in general, and I do not tend to find flaws in others,
unless someone is intentionally cruel and tries to use it to hurt others.
What was the biggest mistake of your life?
I have not made any such major mistake, but I am not very tactful and that, I think, is a quality, people should have.
What are your plans for the near future?
I do not like planning ahead, I prefer going with the flow. Some of
the best things in my life – my marriage, my career – came about
without much planning. The most I will think ahead is for a week later.
