Popular Bangladeshi DJ DJ Sonika has been diagnosed with hepatitis A and is now receiving treatment at a private hospital in Banani, Dhaka.
She shared the news on Monday night (May 18) via social media, posting a photograph from her hospital bed. Alongside the image, she wrote, “This is my home for the next few days,” adding a white heart emoji.
According to available information, she has been admitted to York Hospital in the capital. Following the announcement, fans, colleagues and well-wishers have been expressing support and wishing her a speedy recovery on social media.
Sonika began her professional career as a DJ in 2007 and quickly became a familiar name in Bangladesh’s music scene. She gained wider recognition after performing at the opening ceremony of the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup, representing Bangladesh on an international stage.
In 2013, she received the Dhallywood Film and Music Award for Best Bangladeshi Female DJ in recognition of her contribution to DJ music. She later expanded her career into singing, releasing her first music video ‘BHALLAGE!’ in 2014.
Beyond music, she has also appeared in acting roles. In 2015, she acted in television dramas including ‘Last Sequence’ and ‘Triple F’, earning appreciation from viewers.
Her illness comes shortly after the death of content creator and actress Karina Kaiser, who also suffered complications related to hepatitis A and E.
