Bangladeshi fans eagerly awaiting Atif Aslam's November 29 concert in Dhaka
Pakistani musician Atif Aslam performed at Bashundhara Sports Complex in the capital in April this year. He is coming to Dhaka to hit the stage once again.
Atif Aslam will participate in the 'Magical Night 2.0' concert organized at the Bangladesh Army Stadium on November 29.
The concert has been left in limbo—not only due to pending venue approval but also because of a massive data breach that has exposed the personal information of over 5,000 ticket-holders.
'Triple Time Communications' organization has informed this on their Facebook page.
On the other hand, an officer in charge of the Army Stadium confirmed to the media that permission was not received and said that the organizing authority of the event had appealed to us. After the application, the official work is going on. They have not been permitted to the Army Stadium yet.
Apart from Atif, another Pakistani young artist Abdul Hannan, Bangladeshi Tahsan Khan, and the band Kaktal are scheduled to perform in the 'Magical Night 2.0' concert.
However, if everything goes well, the concert will start on November 29 at five o'clock in the afternoon at the Bangladesh Army Stadium. The gates will be open for visitors from 1 pm.

Koushani Takes the Internet by Storm with Item Song
Bengali actress Koushani Mukherjee continues to showcase her growing acting talent, impressing audiences with her versatility in various roles. This time, she has taken the internet by storm with her performance in an item song. Her captivating dance moves have mesmerized netizens.
On Wednesday (September 25), a song titled "Dakatia Banshi" was released on YouTube, featuring vocals by Sreshta Das, Nonichora Das Baul, and Boni Chakraborty.
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.
Since its release, the song has garnered immense praise from netizens, who are not only impressed by Koushani's performance but also by the lyrics written by Anindya Bose and Nonichora Das Baul, which have resonated deeply with listeners.
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."
Reactions from Stars after Shakib Decides to Retire
Shakib Al Hasan, the biggest star of Bangladesh. He took the Bangladesh cricket team from decline to sublime. In his hands, the bat became a sheathed sword, and the ball became a missile. He is in a Royal position on the list of world cricketers. He is the best all-rounder in the world.
On Thursday (September 26) the message of the end of his cricket career was suddenly announced from Kanpur.
The world's best all-rounder announced his retirement from international T20 and Test cricket, which pained cricket lovers. The country's showbiz stars are also in that queue. During the conversation with RTV, some of the popular people in showbiz expressed their opinions about Shakib Al Hasan's decision to retire.
Zayed Khan
Shakib Al Hasan still has a lot to offer Bangladesh. I think his decision to retire was taken out of pride. The authorities should discuss this with him and bring him back.
Tama Mirza
I have already seen the news of Shakib Al Hasan's retirement. He has a good reputation not only in the country but also abroad. I always had an expectation for Shakib Al Hasan whenever Bangladesh played. When he batted or balled, there was excitement. If the Bangladesh cricket team won any match, he would have contributed there. Of course, now I will miss his game. Because he gave a lot to Bangladesh cricket. He is our pride. But if there were a few more days, maybe the Bangladesh cricket team would have got something better.
Emon
Shakib Al Hasan is undoubtedly the number one all-rounder in the world. I watched his every match for 15 years. In one word he was an iconic cricketer of Bangladesh. I will miss him. At the same time, you have to say goodbye. It is hard to accept but this is the truth, Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, Tamim Iqbal, and Mushfiqur Rahim are not playing. I feel very bad, I will not see my favorite cricketer play anymore. This is reality, nothing to do, just accept it.
Jamil Hossain
T20, Test or ODI, if he is in the team, the opposing team always reckons that Shakib Al Hasan is there. However, if Shakib Al Hasan retires on his own then we are losing a powerful cricketer from our Bangladesh cricket team. Every place is sometimes empty and filled again. But in Shakib's case, he was the one to fill his void.
Rashed Shimanto
I think Shakib Al Hasan could have stayed in T20 and Test cricket for quite some time. Maybe he has taken this decision early. His contribution to Bangladesh is huge. I would have been happy if he played a little longer. But I would say it's a good time for Shakib to retire.
Farin Khan
I think Shakib Al Hasan should not have taken such a sudden decision. If he made such a decision out of pain or emotion, I would say he is wrong. He should think more. Because he is a great asset to Bangladesh.
