The day is celebrated by one and all, and stars of our showbiz world are no different. With Pohela Boishakh just around the corner, prominent artistes share their thoughts and memories of the day.  

Shakib Khan: During my childhood, I really liked shopping from different fairs on Pohela Boishakh. It is a day that is greatly important to our culture. I will be spending the day in Dhaka, with my family. My mother will cook some delicious meals for the day, which I am very excited about. I also bought a new panjabi, especially for Pohela Boishakh.

However, I will return to Dhaka by the afternoon and will spend the rest of the day with my family. I am also looking forward to being a part of the Bangamata U-19 Women's International Gold Cup in the month of Boishakh this year.

I do not have any particular plans, but I will definitely be going to an event, where many artistes of our industry will be present. It is something that I look forward to every year. I like catching up with my colleagues and friends from the fraternity at this gathering.
