National Film Award-winning singer Atiya Anisha has received a special honour from Gaiyar Bhanga High School in Uttar Belghar, Lalmai, Cumilla, in recognition of her achievement in music.
The singer performed at the school a few days ago at the invitation of the authorities.
Following her performance, the school presented her with a commemorative crest in recognition of her National Film Award.
Speaking about the experience, Atiya said performing in front of people from her hometown and sharing the joy of the children had been a memorable experience.
She expressed gratitude to the school authorities and everyone involved for recognising her achievement.
Atiya also revealed that her father, Anwar Ullah, serves as the school’s president and that she was delighted to be part of the event at his invitation.
The programme was attended by her uncle, Member of Parliament Mohammad Mobasher Alam Bhuiyan, along with other distinguished guests.
Describing the occasion as filled with love, respect and gratitude, she said receiving appreciation from people in her own community meant a great deal to her.
She also asked for prayers so that she could experience similar moments again.
Meanwhile, a new song titled Rupkothar Aloke, sung by Atiya, was recently released in the drama Kabinnama, directed by Imraul Rafat. Salahuddin Sagor wrote the lyrics, while Sajib Das composed the music.
Atiya participated in Channel i Sera Kontho in 2017 and Sa Re Ga Ma Pa in 2018. She won the National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer for Ei Shohorer Pothe Pothe, from the film Payer Chhap, at the 2022 awards.
In August last year, the singer also went on a two-month musical tour.
