HSBC Bangladesh hosted an intimate soiree "Abar Eshechhe Ashar" last night, with the timeless songs of Rabindranath Tagore, the maestro whose verses have etched the beauty of Bangla's monsoon into the hearts of millions.

The telefiction, “Ekti Khola Chithi,” directed by Rejanur Rahman, will centre around a school teacher and his journalist daughter. Popular actors Jayanta Chattopadhyay and Ashna Habib Bhabna will play the lead roles.

Jayanta Chattopadhyay has not only earned accolades from the audience, but also received critical acclaim as well. Apart from establishing his name as an actor, he is also an elocutionist.

Eminent actor Masud Ali Khan will be honoured with the award this year – the news comes after many in the entertainment industry raised their voices in order to bring his inclusion to attention, after a report titled “93-year-old Masud Ali Khan has no regrets” was published on The Daily Star.
