The song is from the movie "Bahurupi" and marks Koushani's first-ever performance in an item song, which has left her audience thrilled.
In the music video, Koushani is seen wearing a red sari, with loose hair and kohl-lined eyes, radiating emotion. She is seen swaying her hips to the beat while dancing with a troupe at a rural fair.

In an interview with an Indian media outlet, Koushani mentioned that she had very little time to prepare for the performance. "I didn’t know I would have to dance. I only had about a week to prepare. I learned the entire routine during breaks in shooting, and the dance was shot in just eight hours. It wasn’t even a full day. But Nandita Di was confident, and she showcased Jhimli (Koushani) exactly as she had envisioned."
Bahurupi is set to release during the upcoming Durga Puja. Koushani is very optimistic about the success of "Dakatia Banshi" and expressed her hopes by saying, "I hope Dakatia Banshi goes viral and that everyone will be dancing to it at this year’s Puja festivities."

Robi Poth: An Autobiography of Abul Hayat
Ekushey Padak winning veteran actor and director Abul Hayat. He is also a writer, civil engineer and director. He earned Bangladesh National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor for the film Daruchini Dwip in 2007. His illustrious artistic journey spans six remarkable decades. An enduring presence in acting, writing, and directing, he has always kept his creative spirit alive. Despite earning a degree in Civil Engineering from BUET, his heart remained firmly rooted in the arts.
Recently Abul Hayat has finished writing his autobiography. Cover decoration is currently in progress. His daughter, actress and painter Bipasha Hayat, has taken responsibility for it.
Abul Hayat's autobiography is named 'Robi Poth'. It took 10 years to finish it.
In this context, Abul Hayat reveals that it took him a decade to complete his autobiography, even though it's a modest 300 pages. Set to be published by Suborno Prakashani, one might wonder why it took so long. Abul Hayat candidly admits, 'I'm quite lazy by nature. I'd write a bit, then set it aside. Some days I'd manage a chapter, others just a page, and then I wouldn't touch it for ages. It was really my elder daughter Bipasha who pushed me to finish it. Her constant reminders became impossible to ignore. Meanwhile, my younger daughter Natasha had already secured a publisher. So, in the end, the combined pressure from both of them finally got me to complete the book after 10 long years.'
Autobiography 'Robi Poth' will be published by Suborno Prakashani. If all goes well, it will be released by September.

Salman's father Kamar Uddin Ahmad Chowdhury had started the case, but after his death, his mother Neela Chowdhury emerged as the plaintiff.
Kamar Uddin died in 2002 after six years of not knowing whether his son committed suicide or was murdered.

Finally 'Alo Ashbei' Group Admin Tusti Opens Up
The WhatsApp group of pro-Awami League artists 'Alo Ashbei' is being heavily criticized. From there came the advice to pour hot water on the students of the July uprising.
Actress Shamima Islam Tusti is one of the four admins of this group. She expressed her position amid fierce criticism about the group.
On Saturday (September 7), Shamima Tusti wrote, "What I am going to write right now, I know, I may face abuse and trolls for this. Still, I want to clear my position. I want to say first that I am an active worker of a political party. Active worker of Bangladesh Awami League. This is because my father was a freedom fighter. In 1965, my father was the organizing secretary of the Malibag Awami League, so there was always this atmosphere in my house where I considered the forces of the Liberation War as my own. I don't think my bias is wrong either. I think I made my participation right. But despite being a member of this group, I have some judgments of my own. You all know that when one works as a worker of a party, he has to do according to the words of the leaders of that party. There is no situation to work against those party guidelines. And I don't want to do that as a party worker."
She also wrote, "That's why I am not a supporter of this murder, this brutality against students, not even for a minute. Many workers in the Bangladesh Awami League were not like that. Many of us needed to take positions. It was needed long ago. I know many of you will be offended by this. But I hope you will agree that we are too late to know what is happening in Bangladesh. We went on BTV, and artists protested against the violence and killing of students, but they didn't make it to the news. But what has come, created room for more misunderstandings. But I will not say that what has been done is not right either. We also visited the injured in the hospital."
The actress also said that she did not open her mouth for fear of trolls and abuse. Shamima Tusti wrote, "I came before you very late. But my feelings are not new. It was happening from the beginning. I didn't write before because I was afraid of trolls. I wasn't in the mood to take so many trolls and insults. Now I can control myself a little bit. I hope I will have the patience to take all your words."
Finally, she wrote, 'I made my position clear to you from such a place. I wish everyone well. I hope that the sacrifice of the martyrs does not fail in Bangladesh.
