Five screen legends reunite for nostalgic gathering

Veteran Bangladeshi film stars Shabnam, Suchanda, Ujjal, Alamgir and Babita came together for a special gathering on Monday, sharing memories and stories from their illustrious careers in cinema.

The event, held at the studios of  Channel i⁠, brought together some of the most celebrated figures in Bangladeshi film history for an afternoon of conversation, reflection and nostalgia.

The distinguished guests were welcomed by Channel i Managing Director Faridur Reza Sagar. The discussion was hosted by veteran film journalist Abdur Rahman, who guided the stars through memories spanning decades of work in the film industry.

Throughout the session, the artists revisited memorable moments from their careers, sharing lesser-known stories and experiences from their time in front of the camera. The gathering also provided an opportunity for several of the stars to reconnect after many years, making the occasion particularly emotional.

Beyond discussions about cinema, the conversation also touched on personal memories and untold stories from their lives away from the spotlight, offering viewers a rare glimpse into the people behind the celebrated screen personas.

The atmosphere remained warm and lively throughout, with the guests reminiscing about their journeys, friendships and the evolution of Bangladeshi cinema over the years.

At the conclusion of the event, the guests were presented with commemorative gifts, including decorative keepsakes, toys and specially designed mementos. They also received personalised crests bearing their names and photographs, along with floral bouquets.

The programme has been recorded by Channel i and is expected to be broadcast on the channel in the coming days.
