Tanzila Afrin
Tanzila Afrin is a Bangladeshi puppeteer who does various Muppets on the Bangladeshi co-production of Sesame Street, Sisimpur. It's a pity she doesn't have a lot of info on her Muppet Wiki page. Tanzila worked with twelve other puppeteers on Sisimpur including Parvin Paru, Quazi Nawshaba Ahmed, and Sayma Karim, to name a few. Afrin should have more credits on her Wiki page because you never know when people across Bangladesh will want to know what else she does. Perhaps in the future, her page will have more personal information about herself and what other projects she's puppeteered on outside of Sisimpur. It seems that many international Sesame Street performers are lacking a lot of bios. I will bet that Tanzila Afrin felt excited to work with Sesame Workshop internationally since the puppets are Muppet-type. She also got to work alongside traditional Bangladeshi puppets, technically since she was mainly an assistant/minor puppeteer on that show. Not to mention Martin P. Robinson training her and the other Sisimpur puppeteers to operate Muppet-type puppets, as seen in a photo. It's too bad Tanzila, as well as the other puppeteers, never got interviewed during their time working on Sisimpur. Let's just hope that Afrin still remembers Sisimpur and will get interviewed someday. Personally, I doubt it will happen since it's unknown if that show is still around or not. But you never know when one of the 13 puppeteers will get interviewed somehow. Tanzila Afrin, even though there's hardly a lot of information about you, you still did wonderful on Sisimpur with the other performers. If you're still around, keep working and always remember that show, since it's the only one listed on Muppet Wiki. Until your page gets more info, always have hope. You have really outdone yourself Tanzila. You're so dandy Afrin!
