1 Minute Please

What were your first words on air for the very first time?
'Sunchen shobshomoe Radio Foorti 88.0 fm' (eating up half of what I said!) and when I finished, I felt I was done with all the responsibilities in this world!

If you were banished to a far away island, what are the three things that you would take with you?
Sanitary Napkins, a camera, my pillow and my best friend Sazia. (That's more than 3! Sorry!) 

What is playing on your headphone right now?
Mon Ghumae Re by Habib Wahid

What or who inspires you?
All the ladies in my family -- my mom, sisters, my niece. Also, my fans and listeners for whom I can smile and talk, even when I am in tears. 

Dogs or Cats?
Both

What are your three favourite possessions?
My collection of neckpieces, Anik Khan's Poetry Collection and my simple dimpled smile.

What is your motto in life?
To bring out the best from anyone and myself and to let live. Also be an entertainer always.

Your message to young people trying to enter the radio industry?
Don't dare try to be me or Rj Sadia , or even Rj Nawaf. Just be yourself at all times, trust me that will do!
