Humble Beginnings in Kurigram
Rakib was born and brought up in a tranquil district Kurigram, Bangladesh. His passion for cinema sprouted during his childhood. He spent all his boyhood days watching Bengali dramas and cinemas, often renting CDs worth a five taka. Humayun Ahmed inspired him; the dramas by that author had a vivid impact on his mind. His memories include memorizing scenes from dramas, which can testify to his relation with the form. Later, it made a stepping stone for his future to be contented.
Though inclined naturally toward art, he had to follow an academic path through science. He earned a bachelor’s and master’s education in Physics at Jagannath University. Yet, he had always been interested in writing stories and making films.
The Birth of RnaR

Just nine days after losing his channel, on September 14, 2017, Rakib launched a new channel under the same name, RnaR. This time, he was determined to succeed, and his hard work paid off.
