Career

Moushumi won the Anonda Bichittra Photo Beauty Contest in 1990, which led to appearances in television commercials. She made her acting debut in 1993 with the movie Keyamat Theke Keyamat, a remake of a Bollywood film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak directed by Sohanur Rahman Sohan. The film achieved significant commercial success in Bangladesh and shot Moushumi and her co-star Salman Shah to stardom. In the following two years she co-starred with Shah in three more feature films Ontare Ontare, Denmohor and Sneho.

In 1997, Moushumi started a production house, Kopotakhsma Cholochitra.

In 1996, Moushumi took a break for six months from acting and announced her engagement to actor Omar Sani. The couple have two children. Moushumi has a younger sister, Erin Zaman.

Actress Sadika Parvin Popy is Moushumi's cousin.

In August 2024, a Dhaka court issued an arrest warrant against Moushumi in an insufficient funds check case involving IPDC Finance. The warrant was issued after Moushumi had missed to appear in the court after multiple summonses.
